Four members of the McKellar family from Fort Worth were killed, and one remains in critical condition, after Texas DPS says a big rig driver fell asleep at the wheel Saturday afternoon in Kaufman County and collided with stopped traffic.

Loved ones say 15-year-old Kason McKellar, his sister Evan, their parents Shaun and Zabar, and grandfather Billy McKellar were driving on I-20 when the crash happened. Only Evan survived, being transported to the hospital where she’s still fighting for her life.

A total of five people were killed, including the driver of another vehicle, who has now been identified as 49-year-old Nicole Gregory from Dallas.

According to the Department of Public Safety, 27-year-old Alexis Gonzalez-Companioni was arrested and charged with five counts of manslaughter and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Authorities released the identities of the five victims killed in the crash on Tuesday night. An attorney representing the McKellar family said loved ones are grieving.
