Parents Die During Vacation To Disney World From Missouri

By Betsey Bruce

LEADWOOD, MD (CNN) -- Relatives and friends of a Leadwood, MO couple are mourning their deaths in a car accident in Florida.

Greg and Sarah Moyers had taken their two young daughters on a dream vacation to Disney World and were on the way to the beach when another car struck them and forced them off the road.

Florida's Highway Patrol says the parents died instantly. The girls, 13-year-old Haley Moyers and her sister 8-year old Sophia were in the back seat and were injured. They are being treated at a children's hospital in Orlando now. Relatives have gone to Florida to be at their sides.

Back home in the Leadwood, Park Hills area friends are organizing fund raising efforts to help with funeral, medical and long term expenses. Friends describe the couple as always helping others. Now they say it is their turn to help out the Moyers Family.

Greg Moyers ran his own muffler business in Park Hills and Sarah Moyers was the general manager for the McDonald's restaurant in Desloge.

A benefit account has been established at First State Community Bank. You can make a donation at any of the bank's branches. It should go to the "Greg and Sarah Moyers Memorial Fund." All the proceeds will be used to benefit their daughters.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to support their daughters.
