According to officials, 68-year-old Leilani Childers and 59-year-old Johnny Childers were in a Toyota Highlander traveling on north I-35. Two lanes over, authorities say that a Hino truck made an unsafe lane change, causing it to crash into a Toyota Camry to the right of Leilani and Johnny Childers' vehicle.
