HOLLAND, MI -- Officials say six members of a southwestern Michigan family have died in a traffic accident in Mexico, just across the U.S. border from Laredo, Texas.
The accident killed a married couple and their two sons from Holland and two of the couple's nephews from Allendale.
School authorities in the two Michigan cities have identified the victims as 43-year-old Everardo Rodriguez Aguilar, 40-year-old Maria Teresa Aguilar, 15-year-old Pedro Aguilar, 10-year-old Gabriel Aguilar, 13-year-old David Rodriguez and 9-year-old Daniel Rodriguez.
The crash happened Friday on a highway near Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, as the family was returning home from a Christmas vacation.
