TRAGIC DIXIE CHICK NEVER MADE PEACE WITH BANDMATES!

Survivors eaten by guilt after Laura dies in freak accident

- 

FOUNDING Dixie Chicks member Laura Lynch, 65, was killed instantly in a head-on highway smashup late last month in her native Texas, where she'd lived in anonymity for decades after being booted from the band! Now, insiders dish her devastated former bandmates - sisters Emily Strayer, 51, and Martie Maguire, 54 are haunted by regret for forcing the bluegrass babe out of the country group nearly 30 years ago.

According to lawmen, a pickup truck attempted to pass another car on an undivided stretch of roadway and plowed into the retired musician's vehicle.
