Illegal immigrant semi driver was watching YouTube when he plowed into a family's minivan, killing a mom and two kids, officials say

An illegal immigrant driving a semi-truck was playing YouTube on a tablet when he slammed into a family's minivan in Kansas City, killing a mother and two of her children, according to court documents and ICE, the New York Post reports.

Olga Sorbalo, 35, and her sons Luis, 8, and Samir, 4, were killed Monday on their way to the airport to fly home to Vancouver, Washington, after visiting family in Kansas City. Her husband, Liviu, and their youngest child were hospitalized in critical condition.

Court documents say driver Eldar Skander, 39, hit the family's Honda Odyssey at "a high rate of speed," setting off a chain reaction involving three other vehicles, with "no signs of emergency braking by the semi-truck." An investigator found a tablet on the truck's floorboard "open to the YouTube application," with Velcro matching a mount on the dashboard in view of the driver.

Skander, a Ukrainian national living in Chicago, entered the U.S. illegally, according to ICE, which has placed an immigration detainer on him. He suffered only minor injuries and has been charged with three counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter. It was not immediately clear when he came to the U.S.

"Another Biden-released illegal alien involved in crash that killed three Americans," ICE said. "Two children who will never get to grow up, and a mother who will never get to watch them grow. These deaths were tragic and preventable."

An online fundraiser for the surviving family had raised more than $160,000 by Thursday. Olga was the daughter of a church minister in Vancouver.
