Illegal migrant crashed into SUV — killing mom and 2 kids — while playing YouTube in semi-truck: officials

A lorry collided with a family’s Honda Odyssey in Kansas City, killing Olga Sorbalo, 35, and her children Luis, 8, and Samir, 4. Their deaths have renewed attention on road safety and immigration enforcement, though claims about the driver’s immigration history and release into the country come from US authorities.

Court documents say the lorry was travelling at high speed and showed no signs of emergency braking; an investigator found a tablet open to YouTube on the cab floor, with matching Velcro on the dashboard. Driver Eldar Skander, 39, faces three counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and is being held on an immigration detainer. Olga’s husband and youngest child were critically injured, and a fundraiser for the surviving family had raised more than $160,000 by Thursday.
