I'm in shock reading this story.
7 siblings, all adopted by their family, were killed when the van driven by the eldest (15 with a learner's permit, driving illegally without a licensed passenger over 25) was hit from behind by a semi-truck, pushed into a school bus, and caught on fire. Initial reports said that there was no evidence of braking from the semi, but more investigation shows there may have been "light" braking.
Then, later in the day, the childrens' grandfather died of a heart attack after hearing the news.
Yet more reason to follow Capt. Jack's advice and go hug your loved ones.
