Two Garland teenagers were among four people killed in a head-on collision Sunday afternoon in northeastern Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Drake Cobb, 14, and Syrrena Sanderson, 13, both of Garland, were passengers in a Ford Mustang that crashed into a pickup after crossing the center line on U.S. 60 near Wyandotte.
Authorities say a 7-year-old girl, who the younger sister to Cobb and Sanderson, is in serious condition at a Springfield, Mo., hospital.
The siblings were moving to Missouri to start a new life with their mom and sisters.
"I've never had a hurt like this, never," said Johnny Cobb. "I don't know how to explain it, it just hurts."
When Johnny and Cindy Cobb said goodbye to their grandson Drake at Thanksgiving, they didn't think it would be for the last time.
"I didn't know it would be anything like this, I never featured that," said Cindy Cobb. "I don't know, I don't understand it, I'm so confused with it. Everyone tells me I can't hang on to the anger but I don't know how to let go of it."
