Family of 4 Died Tragically in a Car Crash

Last week, an El Dorado Hills east of Sacramento family of four tragically died in a car crash. On Thursday, Alisa and Nick Streit were driving along a road in Amador County, with their two sons, Christopher, 5, and Tyler, 2, when they got into an accident.

Winding and stressful stretch road

CBS Sacramento reported that Nick tried to crossover the yellow lines when another car approached theirs from opposite directions. After swerving, Nick lost control of the car that caused it to roll many times and catch fire. Residents in the area said that Latrobe Road, the one that the family was driving on, is known to be particularly winding and a stressful stretch.

According to CBS Sacramento, the California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the crash. Warren Clawson, CPH officer told CBS that having kids involved in tragic incidents make it more difficult. He said that responding to a scene where somebody may or may not live is hard in itself.

One happy and loving family

It seemed that the Streits is one happy and loving family. On the same day of the accident was Nick's last Instagram post. The photo he posted featured Alisa posing in a vineyard. He wrote the caption greeting his "absolutely gorgeous wife a happy Thursday, telling her that he loves her.

Dog pets for adoption

Jay, one of Nick's friends, shared the sad news on Instagram to find people to adopt the deceased family's pets. Admittedly, he wrote that he hates making sad posts but he explained that a "very close friend" of his died. He also indicated that his friend's wife and two amazing children also died. He said that he is looking for a responsible home for the two dogs that the family left behind.
