Three family members were killed last Friday in a car accident as they were on their way back home to Louisville after a vacation Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The 38 year-old father, his wife, and their 15 year-old daughter did not survive the crash.
The sole survivor, according to Wave 3, was a 15 year-old girl who was friends with the daughter. She sustained broken ribs, vertebrae, and lacerations to her face. She is currently at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
The collision occurred in Whitley County, Kentucky about 170 miles south of Louisville. Authorities believe the father swerved to avoid an accident after a driver drifted into their lane. The car then rolled several times.
