KYLIE RAE HARRIS, a country singer from Texas, the United States, has passed away after a three-vehicle crash in northern New Mexico. She was 30.

Harris, who was set to perform at the Big Barn Dance Music Festival in Taos on Thursday, was killed Wednesday night in the crash on State Road 522. Authorities say two people are dead, including a 16-year-old girl.

The third driver escaped injury, the Associated Press reports. Alcohol is suspected as being a factor in the crash, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

“We are heartbroken to confirm that Kylie Rae Harris passed away in a car accident last night,” a publicist for the singer said in a statement to Billboard. “We have no further details to share, and ask for privacy for her family at this time. Everyone that knew Kylie knew how much she loved her family and, beyond that, how much she loved music. The best tribute to her unmatched enthusiasm for both is to spread as much love as you can today and listen to music that fully inspires you.”

In March, Harris, who cited Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow as influences, released her latest self-titled EP. According to her Facebook profile, she knew at age 12 she wanted to be a singer.

“I want my music to move people,” she said in her bio. “I’ve got this platform to do something good for people, to speak into their lives, and in return it is good for my soul. I just want people to know that whatever they’re going through in life, it is going to be okay.”
