A New Jersey mother who survived a crash that left her husband and four daughters dead is struggling to come to terms with her devastating loss.
The Trinidad family: Kaitlyn, 20, Danna, 17, twins Melissa and Allison, 13 and their father, 61-year-old Navy Veteran Audie all died in the collision.
Two people in the pick-up truck and one in another auto were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. CBS Philadelphia reports that moments before a Ford F-350 pickup truck slammed into a minivan, killing five members of the same family, it plowed into 24-year-old Brian Kern's Mercury Sable. The other adult is in the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
"It's certainly heartbreaking", said Delaware State Police Master Corp. When I found out, I just couldn't believe it at first.
A New Jersey wife and mother was the only survivor of a crash in DE that took the lives of her husband and four daughters.
Nelson's daughter, Kim Trinidad, had lived with Audie Trinidad's family for four years, since graduating from nursing school in the Philippines.
Police didn't immediately know the ages of the children or what part of New Jersey the family was from, Jaffe said.

"I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will honor the contract we signed &, even more importantly, our handshake", Trump wrote. She said the dinner lasted an hour and 45 minutes and at times the two were "cracking jokes" and "exchanging pleasantries".
"I'm trying to keep it together", Audie's brother Daniel Trinidad tells the New York Post. The family was returning home after a vacation.
Both husband and wife were properly restrained in the vehicle, police said, but their four daughters were not.
A GoFundMe page set up to assist with funeral costs and Mary Rose's recovery had raised more than $113,000 as of Sunday afternoon.
The family's vehicle was traversing the Delaware Highway 1 on Friday when a pick-up truck crossed the road's grassy median and hit them, said Ballocanag's aunt, Lydia Agas. Authorities are not sure what caused 44-year-old Albert Hubbard to lose control of the red pickup truck. "They're all gone, gone".
"It's sad, but it doesn't surprise me", she said, adding that the stretch of the highway sees frequent crashes. "So far, we're holding up, you know, we're holding up as best as we can". He received a photo of the family eating blue crabs on July 4.
'Anyone involved with the Trinidad family, give a loving hand to this mother, she needs it more than ever, ' he said. Their bodies in the morgue are unrecognizable, ' he said.
