“We didn’t have any family contact information and if we had taken the money that day, we would have been screwed.”
There were 12 people in the 11-seater van at the time of the accident, and police are investigating whether they were wearing seat belts.
Police believe the driver of the truck may have run a red light.

“When the light turns yellow, you have to go faster because our speed has been set and we can’t stop even if we apply the brakes, so we go quickly.”
Police investigations confirmed that the drivers of both vehicles were not drinking.
