  • Father was killed alongside his sister and mother after they were involved in a crash with a truck in Scotland.
  • Jared Bastion, 45, and Mary-Lou Mauch, 75, were pronounced dead at the scene of the smash on August 10.

An Illinois family died while vacationing in Scotland after their car collided with a truck.

The family of three, identified as Kathryn (Katie) Bastion-Strong, 46, her brother, Jared Bastion, 45, a chef from Champaign, Illinois, and their mother, Mary-Lou Mauch, 75, experienced the collision near Newtonmore in Cairngorms Mountains in the east Highlands on August 10.

According to the family's $4, Basion and Mauch died at the scene, while a critically injured Bastion-Strong was airlifted to hospital, where she died three days later.

The $4 reports that the truck driver, a 59-year-old man, was unharmed in the collision.

GoFundMe pages have been created for the families of $4 and $4, who left behind six children and spouses.
