Tragic Incident: Man Causes Fatal Collision, Resulting in Death of his Sister and Two Minors


According to the police, a New York man caused a fatal crash that resulted in the death of his sister after he abruptly veered into oncoming traffic and collided with her vehicle.

21-year-old Evan Klink was driving a 2006 Dodge Ram when it collided head-on with a 2005 Ford Focus carrying his sister, 24-year-old Dahlia Klink, and two minors. The crash resulted in the tragic deaths of the minors, 6-year-old Molly Kibler and 17-year-old Havanah Lopez, at the scene on Freedom Road in the town of Freedom. Dahlia Klink succumbed to her injuries at the Erie County Medical Center the following day, while a 4-year-old passenger from the Ford was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

Evan Klink received medical treatment for his injuries and was taken to the state police station in Warsaw. Additionally, a passenger in the Dodge car, 19-year-old Cameron Klink, was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries.

While state investigators are still determining the cause of the crash, witnesses reported that the Dodge pick-up truck abruptly veered into the oncoming lane. It is unknown whether this maneuver was intentional. The speed at which Evan Klink was driving is also under investigation by the state police’s collision reconstruction unit.

The state police are collaborating with the Cattaraugus County District Attorney’s Office to secure a subpoena for Evan Klink’s blood from the hospital where he sought medical attention.

The small community, with a population of less than 3,000, is in shock and mourning over the tragic crash.

Sue Fish, a resident of Freedom, expressed her disbelief and sorrow, stating, “When I heard it was brother and sister — that hit. I couldn’t believe it. How’s the driver of the truck going to live with himself now and the rest of the family?”
