An illegal alien semi-truck driver released into the US by Joe Biden in 2023 plowed into a minivan and killed a mother and her two young sons in Kansas City, Missouri, on Monday.

According to reports, 39-year-old Eldar Skandar was driving a semi-truck on Highway 71 near downtown Kansas City when he plowed into a Honda Odyssey carrying a family of five and several other cars.

Olga Sorbalo, 35, and her two sons, Luis, 8, and Samir, 4, died.

At least six others were transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

Skandar, an illegal alien from Ukraine, was charged with three counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter.

Full statement from Secretary Duffy:

My prayers are with the family and loved ones of the victims of a horrific crash in Missouri that took the innocent lives of a mother and her two young sons.

The family was riding together in a minivan when an ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKER plowed his 80,000-pound rig into traffic in Kansas City on Monday afternoon. The boys’ father and their 3-year-old brother survived, along with others in the van. That little boy is now in the hospital, and he’ll grow up without his mother and his two big brothers.

@DHSgov confirms to me that the driver, Eldar Skander, is an illegal alien from Ukraine, who was released into our country under Joe Biden in 2023. He had a non-domiciled commercial driver’s license issued by Illinois in March of 2025.

@FMCSA has identified the carrier that put him behind the wheel. We launched an investigation into that company, and how Illinois issued him the CDL.

This was a preventable tragedy. Three precious lives were stolen. This family deserves justice, and there WILL be consequences. President Trump and I will not stop until our roads are safe.
