Julia Quinn in mourning

The incident is said to have happened on June 29, 2021, after a catering company lost their load of canvas bags onto the freeway, leading two cars to stop or nearly stop for the debris.

The renowned author shared the heartbreaking news on her Facebook page saying:

"I have lost my father and my sister. Because a catering company did not secure their load and canvas bags spilt onto the highway. Because a pickup driver thought nothing of driving while his blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit.
"I have lost my sister, with whom I had just finished writing a graphic novel. It was dedicated to our father. It will still be dedicated to our father. It won't be a surprise anymore, but I would like to think he suspected we would do it. He knew us so well. He was our dad."
