5 Siblings and 2 Cousins Die in Crash - Grandfather Dies after Hearing the News

 

Nicky Man, 15, was bringing home her 5 brothers and sisters and 2 cousins from school when a truck crashed into the back of their vehicle [SN Reported]crushing them into the vehicle in front; a schoolbus which had stopped to let off children.

The car, which Nicky was driving illegally on a learner's permit, immediately burst into flames killing all 7 children inside: Elizabeth 15, Johnny 13, Heaven 3, Ashley Keen, 13, Miranda Finn, 8, Nicky and 20 month old Anthony Lamb.

After hearing of the incident the children's grandfather suffered a heart attack and died. "It's hard to fathom what it's like to lose five children, two nieces and a father in one shot. It seems like a burden too big to bear," said a spokesperson.

  Doesn't sound like  
 she did anything wrong, despite not being accompanied by an adult :( what a tragic loss ...

  harsh  
 just harsh. Sad for the family, or whats left of it. The disturbing part is that its a flat road, clear for miles down it, and the police say there are no braking skid marks, only way it stopped was collidiong with the car and the bus.

And he only got away with minor injuries,and was cited before with problems. He shouldnt even be able to get a lisens anymore after this.

  His driving career us IVER for sure  
 My father in law "was" a truck driver until someone ran a red light and he hit him and crippled him. And even with it NOT being his fault, his insurance rates went so high no one would hire him to drive.

So, this guy, is done. And, WILL be charged with criminal negligence causing death. That is if he doesn't hang himself first.

Any of you with childre? Can you imagine?

I cannot even get my mind to go there...

  @cherubgirl  
 And for the truck driver - if he is any sort of human being, I honestly don't know how he will cope with what he has done.

As someone else said, I'd be surprised if he doesn't kill himself - they should put him on suicide watch.

  ban cell phones  
 From the source: "The road is straight and flat in the area. Four fatal crashes have occurred along that part of the road over the past five years, Burroughs said."
wtf?

  seems like  
 they would charge him with 7 counts of involuntary manslaughter thats usually the case when it comes to vehicle accidents

  @kmazzawi  
 Long straight roads can put an already tired driver to sleep - it is a real danger.. maybe that is what happened here? Truck drivers are often forced by the demands placed on the freight business to push themselves to the point that many take stimulants and stay-awake pills... perhaps this one fell asleep, and this is the result?

  its not long and clear  
 I live a few miles from where the crash happened and it's 4 miles from the city.

  In my State (CT)  
 It is illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving and they hand out fines for it left and right.
