Advertiser Staff

Kaua'i County officials say two Irvine, Calif., parents and their 7-year-old son were killed in yesterday's traffic accident on Kaua'i.

The parents were identified as Lan Kim Yim, 44, the driver of the car, and her husband, Yong T. Yim, 43.

Their 7-year-old son Brandon also perished in the crash. A 5-year-old son was in critical condition at The Queen's Medical Center.

The accident occurred when the family's rental car attempted to make a U-turn on Kaumuali'i Highway and was broadsided by a Gas Company propane truck about 10 a.m.

The driver of the truck was not seriously injured.
