A Miss Teen USA parent queen who died tragically in a horror accident in oncoming traffic for 'reasons unknown', has been revealed.
Kadance Fredericksen, 18, died on Monday when she Frontal crashed in a tractor trailer, just 'three minutes away from home', said her deeply sad mother.
A study is still underway in the crash, which unfolded at 1:30 pm on a straight road on Highway 4 near Hurricane Lake Road in Milton, Florida.
“I have no idea what happened,” her affected mother Lisa Fredericksen, 48, told people. She said she was not at home at the time and heard about it after the police told her eldest daughter about the crash.
Vroachton has arrived for the young beauty queen, who used her platform for charity works and through her own initiative, 'Kada's promise'.
“She had the whole world there in her hands and she was ready to take it,” Lisa said.
Kadance suffered as a young child abuse and neglect, until she was admitted by her father and stepmother Lisa, who formally adopted Kadance in 2017.
Lisa said that Kadance was a shy girl in her childhood, and her move to the parade world came “after years of therapy.”
“She came home one day and she said,” Mama, can I do a beauty match? “And I said,” Well, yes, but if you do a beauty match, you have to talk to people, “because she still didn't speak much,” she remembered.

Lisa continued: “And she did it. She bought the ugliest dress she could find because she just wanted to be like a princess. She won nothing.
“But she was addicted.”
She started volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House while she continued to compete in parades and continued with more than $ 25,000 for charity, Lisa said.
Kadance continued her charity work with its own organization, 'Kadas Promise', which offered teddy bears and blankets to children in foster care, homeless and abuse shelters and hospitals.
On her Kadas Promise website she wrote: 'For many dark times in my early childhood, the only thing I could call mine or that felt safe, was a single teddy bear that I received as a gift.
'I wore him from home, couch home and grabbed him firmly in the scariest times. It comes from these memories that Kada's promise was born. '
Lisa described her adopist daughter 'the most friendly' and 'generous' person who 'only wanted everyone to be happy'.
She said her daughter was accepted for nine colleges and dreamed to become a veterinarian.
Only one day before the crash cost her life, Kadance received a full-ride presidential stock exchange at Mississippi State University, and in her last Instagram post she celebrated the Ellison McCraney Ingram Foundation's $ 40,000 exhibition to help her to help to go the university.
The 18-year-old previously made the headlines in 2017 when she created 'Kadas Promise', a charity initiative that offered teddy bears and blankets to children in foster care, homeless and abuse shelters and hospitals
A former winner of Miss Okaloosa County Teen USA, Fredericksen participated in beauty competitions at countless levels, including Little Miss Northwest Florida in 2017
Her grieving family said they hope to continue the legacy of the Kadance and ask people to bring teddy bears to her funeral to help the Kadas Promise organization, set up with a GoFundme to help the initiative after her death.
“We want the whole world to know who Kadance is,” said Lisa. “We want to touch as many lives as possible as we can, even though she is not here.”
Speaking of her charity work in 2024, Kadance told WCJB: 'When I was small, I was abused and neglected by my biological mother and stepfather.
'At that time, the only thing I had to call mine was a cuddly animal that I received years in advance as a gift.
“Now that I am in a safe house with a safe family, I heard that I was not the only child who went through it.”
Kadance said that her charity work was motivated by overcoming as a child 'abused and neglected'
Kadance was known for her charity work with disadvantaged children, seen with teddy bears who were given them by her initiative 'Kada's promise'
The Miss Teen USA Competition, where Kadance participated as a former winner of Miss Okaloosa County Teen USA, led tribute for the young talent after news about her death.
'Our parade community has lost a beautiful soul – someone who was a true light in this world. She was ambitious, driven, friendly and a leader among her parade sisters, “the organization said in a statement.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and everyone who mourns for this devastating loss.
“May we honor her memory by continuing the light that she so effortlessly shared with the world and our Florida Pageant community.”
Fredericksen was a senior at Baker School and after the announcement of her passing school, the school tributed to the talented teenager.
“Please keep the family, the city and the school in mind, because they will all miss and mourn this young lady,” the school said.
