The Yaegers had been travelling eastbound on Interstate 40 when their white, 2006 Honda sedan crossed a median and struck an oncoming vehicle, according to Raul Garcia, a DPS spokesman.
Authorities say a family from California and a 3-year child were killed in a head-on collision on Interstate 40 east of Flagstaff. Arizona Department of Transportation officials on Thursday identified 23-year-old Michelle Bernadet Yaeger, 66-year-old Bruce William Yaeger and 68-year-old Elna G. Yaeger among four victims who died at the crash scene. The Canoga Park, California family was traveling about 15 miles east of Flagstaff. ADOT spokesman Raul Garcia says 3-year-old Kyler Lee Jensen was one of four Winslow family members in the other car and died at the scene. He says 45-year-old Orlinda Kinlecheenie, the driver, and 21-year-old Kelafer Kinlecheenie were transported to a Flagstaff hospital. An 11-month-old child was not injured.
