Mother, Two Sons Killed in Kansas City Crash
Olga Sorbalo, 35, and her sons Luis and Samir were killed Monday when a semi-truck struck their minivan in slowing rush-hour traffic on U.S. 71 in Kansas City, Missouri, causing a chain-reaction crash involving several vehicles. The family, from Vancouver, Washington, was visiting relatives and heading to the airport; Sorbalo’s husband and other passengers were seriously injured, along with people in other vehicles. Prosecutors charged truck driver Eldar Skander with three counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, alleging he failed to slow or stop. Investigators reported finding a tablet with YouTube open in the truck and no signs of emergency braking. Relatives and friends are raising money to return the victims to Vancouver for funeral services.
