Sandy Thuy Le, 26, became the third person to die from injuries sustained during a car crash outside of several nightclubs in Austin, Texas, during SXSW when she passed away Monday. She was hit outside The Mohawk music club early in wee hours of March 13.
Le, who is from Pass Christian, Miss., sustained head injuries, according to the Associated Press, and had been in critical condition at the University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin since the accident.

Local police say an intoxicated Rashad Owens, 21, was driving away from police that fateful night when his silver Toyota Sedan smashed through a barricade and sped into a crowd of people at 11th Street and Red River Street, killing two at the scene and injuring 21 others. Fifteen patients were quickly treated and released, but seven are still hospitalized; five reside at the university's medical center, including one in critical condition.
After speeding through the crowd, Owens' car crashed into a taxi and a parked van, at which point he tried to escape on foot. The entire episode lasted about a minute.
“[Sandy] lived in this whimsy that almost made you jealous," Le's brother-in-law, Stuart Gates, told The Clarion Ledger. "She was a very carefree and nonchalant person with a definitely giving spirit, and she was very selfless."
Owens is charged with murder and aggravated assault with a motor vehicle and is accused of driving while intoxicated. He is currently in custody in Bell County Jail in Texas, where his bond is set at $3 million bond. Owens, an aspiring rapper, had also been charged with driving under the influence in 2011.
