Lori and Chris Coble endured unimaginable tragedy when they lost their three children.
It was just like any other day, Lori behind the wheel and the kids in the backseat of their van, when disaster struck.
In May 2007, Lori was driving home with her three young children, Katie-2, Kyle-5, and Emma-4, when a 20-ton truck struck the family van. Though Lori survived, she was unable to remember the crash. Husband Chris had to deliver the news that their 3 children had died.
The family pressed charges against the driver, Jorge Miguel Romero, who slammed into the Coble van at 70 mph. Romero was charged with vehicular manslaughter.
