Irvine residents Yong and Lan Kim Yim and their 7-year-old son died while vacationing in Kauai. Another son is in critical condition.
Authorities today identified the Irvine family – a mother, father and young son – who were killed Thursday while vacationing in Kauai, Hawaii, when a utility truck broadsided their rental car.
Lan Kim Yim, 44, was behind the wheel of her family's rental car and pulled over to the shoulder of Kaumuali'i Highway near mile marker 24 in Waimea, where she tried to make a U-turn, police Lt. Mark Scribner said from Kauai.
A gas company truck heading west on the highway broadsided the vehicle.
She died at the scene. Her husband, Yong T. Yim, 43, died at Kauai's Veterans Memorial Hospital.
The couple's 7-year-old son, Brandon, died as he was being transported by air ambulance to another Kauai hospital, Scribner said.
The couple's 5-year-old son, Lindon, remains in critical condition at Queen's Medical Center on Oahu.
The gas company driver was treated and released.
