Orphaned Children Paralyzed In Tragic West Texas Automobile Accident

The victims in a horrible car accident near Houston have lost their parents, inspiring an outcry of sympathy from the local public.

While driving down a dark stretch of road late one night, the van carrying the family was struck by an SUV that drifted into their lane. The highway is reportedly notorious amongst local residents as a dangerous roadway, with a reputation for horrible accidents on the two-lane highway with no lights.

On that evening, the two family vehicles crashed into each other at high speed, leaving three dead from their injuries. The parents in the van were slain, while their two sons suffered spinal injuries that doctors say will leave them paralyzed. The third and youngest child, a daughter, was injured less severely.

In the SUV, the driver wounded but is still alive and recovering at a hospital. His wife did not survive the accident, though their one-year old daughter was unharmed by the collision.

Houston Families Raise Money For Victims Via Charity Bake-Sale

The orphaned children have been taken in by their aunt and uncle, who say they are proud of the strength shown by their nephews and niece.

"These kids smile when somebody asks to take their picture. Can you imagine being in these kids' shoes?" says their uncle. "It's pretty incredible how they're dealing with it."

As news of the tragic consequences of the accident has spread, the community has opened their hearts and their purse strings to the beleaguered victims. A charity event raised $13,000 for the children, money that will go to pay for the medical expenses the children have incurred, as well as the continued medical aid the paralyzed boys will need for the rest of their lives.
