It happened between Slidell and New Orleans LA on what was then hwy 90, now I10. Her car ran into the back of an 18 wheeler. She and her companion died, but evidently the children lived.
I meant how did her lung collapse? I knew about the accident back then. I apologize for not being clear as I should have. :) Sorry.
It was a bad night. Mariska and her brothers, two of them, were in the car and Jayne was decapitated,,they saw it.
I know this because I was an intern at charity hospital in NO and they were brought in our ER and stayed overnight. We treated all three kids.
