This is the awful moment a young Wisconsin woman lost both her parents after a driver going the wrong way down a freeway slammed into their car at 106mph.
Allissa Horne, 22, of Oostburg, was riding in the car with her parents Jay, 56, and Nicole Horne, 51 who was driving the vehicle on May 26 around 1:00am when tragedy struck.
Ace Vue, 34, of Milwaukee, slammed into the vehicle on the I-43 freeway.
Dashcam footage taken from inside Vue’s vehicle showed him moving at a high speed, with a semi-truck driver flashing his lights at him to warn him he was going the wrong way.
‘There is a car going up the wrong way on the northbound road,’ a male 911 caller told a dispatcher, according to WISN.
‘And he’s going really fast,’ a female said.
‘He is exceeding 80 miles an hour into oncoming traffic,’ the man said.
At least five people called 911 to report Vue’s dangerous driving, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The dispatcher told the couple that there were ‘deputies up that way,’ but law enforcement did not reach Vue before he struck the Horne family’s vehicle.
Dashcam footage showed Nicole trying to veer off the side of the road to get around Vue’s car, but she was unable to.
Jay and Nicole died on the scene, while their daughter was left critically injured and pinned in the backseat, according to The Journal Sentinel. She is still hospitalized.
The couple also shared a son, Nathaniel, who was not in the car.
Vue was taken to the hospital and released days later without the sheriff’s department being notified, The Journal Sentinel said. The extent of his injuries is unknown.
He was arrested at his home on June 2.
Vue was charged with reckless homicide, reckless injury, and seven counts of endangering the lives of other drivers.
His toxicology report is pending and he is being held on a $2million bail, WISN reported.
A relative told WISN that the family of four were ‘best friends.’
‘I mean, truly, you ask anyone, they were never apart,’ Cassie Ames said.
Family started a GoFundMe for the surviving children.
‘Jay and Nicole were known for their kindness and generosity – Nicole especially had a deep love for children and caring for others,’ the fundraiser read.
‘Their sudden passing has left Nathan and Allissa not only grieving, but also struggling to manage the overwhelming responsibilities that come with such a tragedy.’
Allissa, who is still hospitalized, has undergone several surgeries and will face extensive rehabilitation.
Some of the fundraiser money will go toward her medical bills, as well as the siblings’ basic needs and funeral expenses.
Vue faces up to 145 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines if convicted.
