The Sienna was driven by 20-year-old Vancouver, Wash. resident, Nina Kiseleva. In the vehicle were five other occupants including her brother Ruvim Kiseleva, also from Vancouver and four family members visiting from Germany.
Upon collision, all occupants except Ruvim were either fully or partially ejected from the vehicle. According to the press release, it is believed that Ruvim was the only occupant wearing his seatbelt.
24-year-old Liane Kamer of Germany succumbed to injuries during the course of the crash and was died on scene. The other occupants were transported by ambulance to Mt. Grant General Hospital.
