A suspected drunken driver heading the wrong way on Interstate 75 in Kentucky struck a vehicle carrying five family members from Michigan early Sunday, killing all six people, authorities said.
The southbound pickup truck being driven in the northbound lanes struck the family's sports utility vehicle at 2.30am in Lexington. The SUV caught fire and all five occupants of that vehicle died, along with the pickup's driver, Lexington police said in a statement.
The family from Northville, Michigan, was returning from a vacation in Florida, the Fayette County coroner's office said.
Witness Kenneth DeGraaf told WLEX-TV the pickup truck was coming toward him prior to the fiery crash.
"I thought I was seeing something, honestly," DeGraaf said. "He was in the centre lane. I was in the centre lane. I had to merge out of the way at the last second to get to the right lane. I mean, he was flying. Absolutely flying."
A coroner's statement identified the family members as Issam Abbas, 42 and Rima Abbas, 38, along with their children, a boy Ali Abbas, 14; and girls Isabella Abbas, 13, and Giselle Abbas, 7.
The driver of the white pickup was identified as 41-year-old Joey Lee Bailey of Georgetown. The coroner's statement says authorities believe Bailey was driving under the influence and that toxicology tests were planned. The interstate was shut for hours as the accident investigation opened.
Authorities identified the Michigan family members as 42-year-old Issam Abbas and Rima Abbas, 38, and their children: a boy, Ali Abbas, 14, and girls Isabella Abbas, 13, and Giselle Abbas, 7.
According to the Islamic Center of America of Dearborn, Michigan, funeral services for the family are set for Tuesday at the centre.
Local media reported in Michigan that the death of the family has devastated relatives and friends.
Habib Abbas of Dearborn, who identified himself as a cousin of the father, told The Detroit News that when he first heard about the crash he didn't believe it and went about his day.
"I thought it was a rumour or something and then saw it again and called her sister. She and the family are even more in denial," Abbas told the newspaper.#DEARBORN (TCD) | TCD sends its condolences to the Abbas Family on the tragic loss of Issam Abbas (42), Dr. Rima Abbas (38), and their 3 children (Ali, 14, Isabelle, 13, and Giselle, 7) due to a fatal accident on I-75 in Lexington, Kentucky. Please keep them, their families, and friends in your thoughts and prayers. ??????? ??????? ?? ????? ??????? ???? ????? ??????? ???? ???? ??????? ??? ???? ??? ??? ???? ??????? ??? ????
