PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) _ Tribal authorities on Monday identified
three children killed in the crash of a sport utility vehicle on
the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Police Chief Everette Little Whiteman in the Oglala Sioux Tribe
Department of Public Safety says 11-year-old Crystal Reyes
and 9-year-old Suhaul Reyes died at the
scene about 4:30 p.m. Friday. One-year-old Maria Reyes died later
at a hospital.
Whiteman says the children's mother, 26-year-old Erica Reyes,
suffered serious injuries.
The chief says Erica Reyes told an officer she lost control of
her SUV near the town of Kyle after hitting a bird. The vehicle
went off the road and rolled.
Whiteman says the Reyes family was from Amarillo, Texas, but had
been living on the reservation.
