Dayton ,OH :Three people injured after double-fatal crash along I-75 on Monday ,June 15th 2015

The North Carolina family who crashed in a van on northbound I-75 around 4 a.m. early Sunday morning were heading to Chicago to attend a family funeral, according to Sgt. Chris Colbert with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Through OSHP’s investigation, it’s been determined that the woman identified as the grandmother, Khurshid Chaudhry, 65, was partially ejected from the crash, and was likely wearing a seat belt. She died along with her five year old grandchild, Azan Chaudhry, 5, whom they’ve determined was laying in the third back seat of the Honda Odyssey and was completely ejected from the vehicle when it went off the right side of the road and hit a tree.
Colbert described the crash “peeled the right side of the vehicle off like a can opener.”
He said after talking with the mother and driver, Rubena Elahi, 27, they’ve determined she likely fell asleep at the wheel. She reportedly told OSHP investigators that she’d been talking about changing drivers because she was tired.
Elahi’s husband, Muhammad Chaudhry, 28, and their two-year-old child Izna Chaudhry survived. The family is from Cary, North Carolina.
Colbert said it’s unclear if any charges will be brought against the driver, since the child died and was unrestrained at the time of the crash.
“We need to get our crash investigation complete,” explained Colbert. “We’ll present everything to the prosecutors office and follow their lead.”
The driver and her husband were taken to Grandview Medical Center. A 2-year-old child who was restrained in a rear passenger car seat was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, according to OSHP.
