“That’s my son’s wife – one of those girls,” Constantine Allwood told Local 10 News. “I feel a way for her because she’s very young. She’s supposed to live out her life.”

The victims’ bodies were removed from the Tesla shortly after 7 a.m.

It’s unclear what caused the driver to crash into the back of the truck. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
