Margarita Morfin And Her 2 Children Killed in Fatal Car Accident

This happened in my area, just saw it on the news. The driver responsible clipped a car and then t-boned a car taking the lives of a young mother and her 2 children. At this time no criminal charges have been filed BUT the investigation is still on going to rule out if the driver at fault had been drinking or under the influence of drugs.

A crash in East Travis County leaves three people dead, two of them children.
The accident happened at the intersection of SH 130 at FM 969. Investigators say Kevin Sparkman, 44, exited off the SH 130 toll road shortly before 5 p.m. Monday, but did not stop at the stop sign where the off-ramp meets FM 969. As he passed through the intersection, troopers say Sparkman's pick-up truck clipped a Mazda Protege, swerved, and then T-boned a black SUV.

The impact pushed both the truck and SUV into a nearby ditch. The truck landed upside down.

The driver in the SUV has been identified as Margarita Morfin, 29. Troopers say Morfin and her two children ages 11 and eight, died in the crash. A third child, 13 years old, was taken to Dell Children's Hospital. According to the Department of Public Safety's preliminary investigation, none of the children were wearing a seat belt.

[...]
Troopers say hospital officials describe the 13-year-old's condition as critical, but non life-threatening. Sparkman was treated at the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Troopers say charges against him are pending.

Can't imagine causing and surviving an accident to find out 3 people died from my stupidity and negligence.
My heart goes out to this family and hope the young child makes a full recovery. Even then his life is changed forever.

Rest in peace Margarita Morfin and children.

I really feel for the 13 y/o, god, imagine being the ONLY survivor. How awful for that kid. Be interesting to see what charges are brought against the guy in the truck.
