TACOMA, WA : 7 family members killed in Oregon car crash, including 5 children on Monday 13th August 2018
A Washington state family is reeling after a head-on collision took the lives of seven relatives, including five children, as they drove outside of Burns, Oregon, headed for a vacation in Las Vegas.
On Monday morning, 29-year-old Erika Boquet and her three young children, Isabella Boquet, 11; Elisabeth Boquet, 9; and Tytis Boquet, 6; were driving to Las Vegas for a family vacation with three other relatives.
According to Oregon State Police, around 10 a.m. Monday, an oncoming SUV suddenly veered into their lane and crashed into them head-on, killing that driver and all seven people in Boquet’s car.
“Took my family, all my family away,” said Jessie Tate, Boquet’s brother.
He says his sister was all about family and teaching her children to put others first.
