NTSB report corrects initial statement that son, 13, was driving truck that hit van, leaving six golfers and their coach
The report from the National Transportation Safety Board also corrected its initial statement that the driver’s 13-year-old son was driving the truck at the time of the fiery 15 March collision that left a total of nine people dead., DNA test results showed it was 13-year-old Ricky Siemens’ father, Henrich Siemens, 38, who was at the wheel of the truck that hit the van carrying six college golfers and their coach, killing all seven as well as the father and son.
Officials now believe the elder Siemens was driving and his son was the passenger when their 2007 Dodge pickup crossed the centerline on Farm-to-Market Road 1788 and barreled head-on into a 2017 Ford transit van carrying members of the golf team at the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, New Mexico.
Two team members in the van survived with serious injuries. A toxicology test performed on the elder Siemens’ blood came back positive for the illegal drug meth, investigators wrote. Karisa Raines’ father, Gary, told the New York Post he had lost his daughter to “the zenith of lunacy”.
