Firefighters reacted to the scene at 3:17 p.m. local time and reported a large vehicle accident near Leona, Texas, the Centerville volunteer fire brigade announced in its release. The Dodge Pickup drove south on the I-45 when it went off the street and hit a guardrail to the right. The vehicle crossed the cable barrier and the I-45 and hit the median before he hit the Ford to the north, Khou 11 reported, citing the Texas Ministry of Public Security.

On the arrival of the emergency staff, both vehicles were cursed in flames. The Centerville volunteer fire brigade and the Leona volunteer fire brigade arrived at the scene and deleted the fire and at the same time recovered the victims from the flame. Several agencies arrived at the scene, including the office of the Sheriff by Leon County and the Texas Highway Patrol – the latter examined the incident according to the outlet.

“There were at least seven people, everyone actively only did something, someone dictated what we should do,” said Mujtaba Quadri, a spectator, opposite Khou 11.

“The fire raged, I wish I could see the other people [in the truck] Because I was on the driver's side, I only saw one person, “said Quadri. He added that he and other spectators pulled out of the wreck fair and put him on a stretcher from blankets.

“Imagine we feel like we could not save you and imagine what he has to go through to know what happened and it is devastating,” said Quadri. “If I were in their situation, it would at least be comfort to know that there were random strangers who helped my family.”

On Monday, May 12th, a family member created a Gofundme page to collect money for the family funeral costs.

“Her life was heartbreaking in a devastating car accident, in which the whole family was claimed,” was the description.

“They were a close -meshed and loving family that is known for their warmth, friendliness and deep love for each other. Their sudden death left a deep emptiness in the hearts of everyone who knew, and their absence will be felt forever.”
