Let Us Be In Prayer: Navajo Nation Crash Kills 5, Orphans Girl

Let us be in prayer: The president of the Navajo Nation is offering condolences after three members of a vacationing Japanese family were killed in a head-on crash with a reckless driver, leaving the family’s 9-year-old daughter orphaned and without family in the U.S.

The crash occurred Friday about 25 miles east of Tuba city, Ariz., after the driver of a pickup, fleeing police at speeds exceeding 100 mph, crossed the center line and struck the family’s rented van on U.S. 160 on the Navajo reservation.
The impact killed three of the four family members. The youngest member of the family, which apparently had come to the Southwest from Illinois to visit the Grand Canyon, was the only survivor of the crash.
Also killed at the scene were the driver and passenger of the suspect vehicle, which rolled upon impact and caught fire.
