Ashley ‘Ms. Minnie’ Ross has sadly passed away in a hit and run accident. The Little Women of Atlanta star was involved in a head-on collision in Atlanta at 11 p.m on Saturday.

There are conflicting reports on exactly what happened. While one source says she lost control of her car when she hit a curb and crossed into oncoming traffic, reps for the reality star claim that she was struck by another vehicle.

Either way, the hairstylist required medical attention and was in critical condition all the way up until her death Monday night.

The tributes have come pouring in from her co-stars and friends.

Terra Jole, executive producer of the Little Women franchise, shared a photo of herself and Minnie alongside a caption that read: ‘There are no words to describe the turn of events these past few days. I’m deeply saddened that @msminnielwa is no longer with us but happy she now walks with angels. Minnie always spoke with her whole heart, listened with every word, and guided like the unspoken mama she is. You will be missed hard. Prayers to you and your family, your mom especially.’

Her closest friends on the show, Andrea and Amanda Salinas, wrote separate heartbreaking goodbyes via Instagram.
