The Washington D.C.-based television station WTTG-Fox 5 reported that Peters’ family issued a statement Friday indicating she was a lifelong Montgomery County, Maryland resident who was starting occupational therapy practices in Las Vegas and New York City.
“Her passion and sole focus in life was treating special needs and underprivileged children,” the station said, citing the family statement.
Peters created a Facebook profile for her business, OSP Therapy, which listed an address at a Summerlin apartment complex.
“At OSP Therapy we strive to give children independence in their daily life activities, as well as a sense of self,” the site stated. “We assist children in developing the skills that occupy their days in their home and community environment.”
The crash was still under investigation, but alcohol was not believed to be a factor, according to TMZ.
