NCCHC Surveyor Killed in Wrong-Way Crash

Brytni Elliott, RN, BSN, CCHP, was in her car with her husband and one of her three children on September 13, when a drunk driver crossed the median and hit them head-on, tragically taking Ms. Elliott’s life. Her husband was critically injured in the accident, has undergone multiple surgeries, and remains hospitalized. Their 12-year-old daughter was also seriously injured in the accident and also remains hospitalized.

Ms. Elliott had been a registered nurse since 2012 and had worked in corrections since 2019, most recently as the Director of Nursing in the Tarrant County Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Ms. Elliott began surveying with NCCHC in November 2023. She was also a volunteer for the NCCHC Foundation, reviewing scholarship applications and serving as a mentor.

Ms. Elliott leaves behind her husband, Spencer, two daughters, ages 17 and 12, and a son, age 9.  NCCHC staff and leadership extend their deepest condolences to the Elliott family. A donation page has been set up to help cover hospital, burial, and living expenses.
