Teens say Taylor Swift light show saved them in wreck after concert 
 
 BATON ROUGE - From a hospital room Wednesday, Elizabeth Dazzio said Taylor Swift and her concert producers saved her life last Friday. 
 
 Dazzio was driving her sister, Caroline, and a friend home from the show when she fell asleep and wrecked near the I-110/Scenic Highway exit. Dazzio was knocked unconscious, the car was mangled up and the two girls were trapped. 
 
 "You could smell the gas and smoke," Caroline said. "I was just thinking we need to get out of this car." 
 
 Two of three phones in the car were dead, the girls could not find the third. 
 
 Cars passed and none stopped so the girls used bracelets from the show, that had been programmed and synced to the beat of the music, as emergency flares to get the attention of people driving by. 
 
 Eventually, someone stopped. A woman told the girls she saw the lights and knew someone was in trouble. 
 
 "She could tell that there was someone in the car," Caroline told WBRZ reporter Brett Buffington in an exclusive interview on WBRZ News 2 at 10:00 Wednesday. 
 
 The woman and a man with her helped pull the girls out and called for first responders. 
 
 Dazzio is expected to be released from the hospital soon. 
 
 On Thursday, Swift tweeted that she was glad to hear the girls were doing well. ||||| Please enable Javascript to watch this video 
 
 MORGAN COUNTY, Mo. – Friends and family are struggling over the death of a Lee’s Summit mother, killed in a car accident on the way to her bachelorette party Friday, when the vehicle she was in riding in struck another head-on. 
 
 Collette M. Moreno, 26, was the passenger of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, which was traveling southbound on Missouri Highway 5 near Prairie Valley Road on the way to the Lake of the Ozarks, where her bachelorette party was set to take place. 
 
 Collette's best friend and maid of honor was driving the Malibu. She says they were listening to Taylor Swift and recalls Collette was coughing from the exhaust fumes coming from the truck they were following. 
 
 "She has really bad asthma and there were a few trucks in front of us that had really bad exhausts and she was coughing, so I was like okay we have to pass these," said Ashley Theobald, 26, her best friend. 
 
 Theobald said they both checked to see if it was clear and decided to pass the truck. 
 
 According to the Missouri Highway Patrol’s accident report, shortly before 3 p.m. on Friday the Malibu attempted to pass another vehicle at the same time a 25-year-old male driver in a 1999 Dodge Ram pickup truck heading northbound was cresting a hill. 
 
 The two vehicles attempted to swerve out of each other’s way to avoid collision; however the truck still ended up striking the passenger side of the Malibu, sending the vehicle off the left side of the road. The Dodge traveled off the right side after impact. 
 
 "A truck was coming at us and I swerved and the truck swerved with me," said Theobald. 
 
 Moreno, who had been wearing her seatbelt, was taken to University Hospital in Columbia where she was later pronounced dead from her injuries shortly after 5:30 p.m. 
 
 "I was talking to her. She couldn't talk back but she was nodding at me," Theobald said. "I didn't know it was as bad as it was because she wasn't physically super beaten-up." 
 
 As soon as Collette's fiance, Jesse Arcobasso, 28, heard about the accident, he hopped into his car to drive to the hospital. 
 
 "I was just trying to hold on to the fact that she was going to be okay," said Jesse Arcobasso. 
 
 Jesse and Collette's wedding day was set for July 26 in Jamaica. 
 
 Collette leaves a five-year-old son. 
 
 The driver of the Dodge was not injured in the crash. Theobald was taken to the hospital and treated for only minor injuries. 
 
 "Complete shock. It wasn't real," said Collette's mother on Monday, as she recalled hearing the news. "It felt like a messed-up dream and I needed to wake up from it. And I just couldn't believe it. I still can't." 
 
 A memorial fund account has been established at Bank of the West. 
 
 For donations, the family asks that you make checks payable to: 
 
 Collette Moreno-Arcobasso Memorial Fund 
 
 or 
 
 CMA Memorial Fund 
 
 229 S.E. Topaz Drive

 Additionally, a special fundraiser is planned on Friday, July 11 at Deavers Restaurant and Sports Bar, 2109 Charbonier Rd., in Florissant, Mo. Twenty per cent of sales between 11 a.m. and 1 a.m. will be given to the fund. There will also be an auction and raffles to raise money.

– Taylor Swift's super powers apparently know no bounds: The pop star, who can save a Montana high school from a final exam, is being credited with a more serious, albeit accidental intervention. Three Louisiana teenagers tell WBRZ that they were on their way home from Swift's Baton Rouge concert on May 22 when one, Elizabeth Dazzio, fell asleep behind the wheel and wrecked. "You could smell the gas and smoke," says sister Caroline Dazzio. "I was just thinking we need to get out of this car." Trapped, with their cell phones either dead or missing, the teens used light bracelets from the show as flares to flag down help. It worked: A woman saw the lights and "could tell that there was someone in the car," says Caroline Dazzio. She and a man pulled the teens from the car and called for help. Tweeted Swift: "This is unreal. I'm so happy they're okay."
