Does this case sound familiar? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I viewed this case only once and it was quite some time back. The best I can remember, it was a hit and run case involving an Asian family. I believe they were hit in their vehicle by another vehicle while traveling on a freeway somewhere in the western U.S. As best as I can remember, they were carrying a U-haul. Does any of this sound familiar? Thanks.

I think it's this case:

Quote: The Thammavong family were driving through Arizona with a U-haul trailer in August 1998 when they were hit from the back by a big rig truck. The family was taken to the hospital, and the two young daughters, Chansami and Abby, died as a result of the accident. Police have been unable to locate the driver of the truck.

I posted this on my Unsolved Mysteries page awhile ago. It's sad to see that it's never been solved. I'm sure the semi would've had noticable damage to it that someone could've identified and sent in the tip to see if it was the one who ran the Thammavong family off the road. I wish people knew or payed attention to details like this back then so cases like this could be solved.
