According to local reports, the driver lost control of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her 11-year-old son, Julian, suffered critical injuries and was airlifted to a children&#8217;s hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. According to the family&#8217;s GoFundMe page, he sustained serious head trauma, skull and spine fractures, and a collapsed lung. He is now recovering from his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heartbreaking loss has devastated the family, who are now facing an unimaginable situation. Grelle also leaves behind her two younger children, Kit, 9, and Des, 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond her role as a business leader, Grelle was known for her determination and resilience. She founded Aux Insights, a marketing firm that helped private equity companies grow their businesses, and previously served as CEO of Gateway Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her journey was marked by extraordinary challenges.
