from article:

Toys and gift wrap were seen strewn about the highway, Santiago said, indicating that the family may have been heading home from holiday visits.

Prayers up for this family, and the ones left behind grieving.

Does anyone know if the drunk driver/murderer can be charged with murder in Ohio? In CA they can be...some street racers that just killed some innocent people here locally have been charged with murder. Can’t punish these morons harshly enough.

A police report says the driver of the pickup truck smelled of alcohol, according to the Associated Press; Police are awaiting tests to determine if Gagnon was legally drunk.

Like the test results one way or the other are going to make this poor family any less dead. The only test this driver needs is a pulse test a few minutes after the potassium chloride starts.

More info at this link, with some pics from the crash scene...

5 from family die in crash on I-280; wrong-way driver had 0.254 blood-alcohol

Gagnon ought to be up on murder charges.

Prayers for the family.

Maybe this senseless killing will stop when we have the death penalty for drunk driving murders. This guy will get a suspended license and possibly serve two years probation.

Prayers.

This makes me so angry. The man who killed them should be charged with murder. I know there will be many others on the roads like this drunken man behind the wheel of what could become a deadly weapon in their hands.

I have friends and loved ones travelling today, and tonight. God bless and surround them, and all who have to be on the roads, within His providential care and guidance, and keep them safe.

Dadgummit! Why is it that the drunk always seems to survive while his stupid actions end up tearing families apart?

God Bless those who survive this family; the pain will be with them every Christmas.

This is indeed a major tragedy. I know the family of the driver, and they are all devastated over what he did. He was at a family Christmas party and all bases were covered for getting home - some had hotel rooms and the drunk driver was supposed to go home with a designated driver, his pregnant sister. They don ‘t know why he left the party and went to Taco Bell.

This was a stupid act that has destroyed two families. Our prayers go out to all involved, especially the family who lost so many members all at once through a stupid stupid act.
