The SUV then went into a concrete pillar on the side of the roadway after the initial collision. Damian Gordiano, 15, who was in the front passenger seat, and 6-year-old Miguelito Valencia, who was in the back seat, sustained major injuries. Four other passengers in the Yukon, including three children sustained minor injuries. Hollenhorst also suffered minor injuries. Alcohol or drugs were not a factor in the crash, officials said.
