Towanda Futrell, owner of Futrell’s Party Adventures, LLC, was among the 23 passengers on the bus when crashed and killed three people. She started her events business in 2020 and hosted parties for children and adults.
Weight added during modifications limited the top speed of the party bus to 40 mph and the vehicle was “traveling well under the speed limit” when it was struck from behind by an oncoming tractor-trailer, according to court documents.
