According to authorities, two young passengers who were accompanying Dahlia, Molly Kibler, 6, and Havanah S. Lopez, 17 lost their lives at the scene of the accident. Dahlia did not instantly die in the collision, but despite being airlifted to a nearby hospital, she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. 

Another passenger in the vehicle with her, a 5-year-old, was also airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries. However, the condition of the person is not known.

None of those in the Dodge Ram died as Evan reportedly received medical treatment for his injuries before being taken to State Police for further evaluation. His passenger, 19-year-old Cameron Klink, was also airlifted to a nearby hospital due to serious injuries sustained in the collision. His current condition is unknown.

It is unclear how the siblings are related to Klink and the minors in Dahlia’s car.

As investigators diligently work to uncover the cause and circumstances surrounding the accident, witnesses have come forward to provide their accounts. Reports suggest that the Dodge pick-up abruptly veered into oncoming traffic. 

However, the motive behind this maneuver remains unknown, and investigators are still in the process of determining whether it was done intentionally. His rate of speed is also under investigation.

The aftermath of this incident has left the community mourning and grappling with the profound sadness that accompanies such a tragedy as residents shared their disbelief at the heartbreaking loss and the family connection of the victims.

One resident, Sue Fish, couldn’t fathom the pain the driver of the truck, Evan, must now bear. “When I heard it was brother and sister – that hit. I couldn’t believe it. How’s the driver of the truck going to live with himself now and the rest of the family?” she said to WKBW News.

Another community member, Nancy Singler, echoed Fish’s sentiment, emphasizing the immense sorrow caused by the children’s death. She said, “It’s a terrible, terrible tragedy, especially with the little girls. You know – it’s heartbreaking.”
