May Allah swt grant them the highest of Jannah. Ameen.
2 adults, 1 child dead after multi-car crash in Arlington
ARLINGTON, Texas - A husband who had spent time praying to honor the holy season of Ramadan was killed along with his wife and baby girl in a crash with an alleged drunk driver early Wednesday on Interstate 30 in Arlington.
The accident happened around 2:20 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of the interstate between East Chase Parkway and Fielder Road.
Department of Public Safety investigators believe 41-year-old Benjamon Stewart was driving his truck while intoxicated and rear-ended a family in a Toyota Camry.
The Camry stalled in the middle lane of the highway and was struck again by another pickup truck.
Najib Intidam, 40, in the Camry died at the scene. His wife Hanane and infant girl were taken to a local hospital where they also died.
DPS said Stewart tried to drive away, but his truck was too damaged.
He fled on foot, but troopers used a thermal camera to find him in a nearby wooded area.
He was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter and failure to stop and render aid.
The victims' family members say Najib came from Morocco several years ago, but his wife and young daughter arrived in the United States in the last few months.
"They were great people," Manal Belkhoumani, the victims' cousin. "I just hope that people understand that drinking and driving isn't a good thing to be doing because it brings sorrow upon families that are lost."
They were headed to the Masjid for Suhur, as detailed in this tweet by Br. Omar Usman:
SubhanAllah. He fled? He was in the wrong from the very beginning and was such a wuss, that he fled?
This is probably the part (obviously) bar drinking/drink driving in the first place, that makes this article all the harder to swallow, for me.

That is sad news, innaa lillahi wa innaa ilayhi raji'oon. May Allaah have mercy upon the family and accept all of their good deeds and make them amongst the forgiven in this blessed month, Aameen.
re: Muslim Family Killed in Crash after leaving the Masjid.
as-salam 'alaikum,
I knew the brother and was shocked when I heard the news last night before salat al-'isha`a. May Allah have mercy on him and his family and enter them into Jannat al-Firdaus together without reckoning.
The scumbag that hit them from behind had previous DUI offence. These kind of animals should be put to sleep before they kill more innocent people. I doubt he'll get more than 10 years. May the curse of Allah be upon him and likes of him. Ameeen.
Correction in the title: They weren't on the way to the masjid. They prayed taraweeh and stopped by to get some grocery and were heading home.

Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji’oon… May Allah forgive them, raise their ranks, exalt their status, and grant them Jannah during this blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah make their graves a vast place, enlighten them, and make it one of the gardens of Paradise!
Friends: Family killed in Arlington crash were going home from a Mosque
Family and friends of the parents and infant killed in a three-car crash in Arlington Wednesday morning say the three had been praying late at night at a mosque and were on their way home, KXAS-TV (Channel 5) reports. Relatives identified the three as Najib Intidam, of Arlington; his wife, Hanane; and their 11-month-old daughter, Nour el Houda. They were observing Ramadan late Tuesday night and decided to stop at a store on their way home. The three victims were traveling east in their small car on I-30 around 2:20 a.m. when the 41-year-old suspect's pickup slammed into the back of their car, police spokesman Christopher Cook said. That collision left their car disabled in the center lane of the highway between Eastchase Parkway and Fielder Road. Shortly after the first crash, a second pickup hauling a flatbed trailer slammed into the car, which was pushed onto the inside shoulder. Police say the driver who caused the first crash, Benjamon Stewart of Arlington, fled and faces three counts of intoxication manslaughter and a charge of failing to stop and render aid. Najib Intidam's nephew, Amir Belkhoumani told NBC5 that his uncle had moved to Texas in 2005 and his wife moved in the past few months from Morocco. "Everything was new, and [he was] excited about everything," Belkhoumani, 14, said about his uncle. "He was excited for his new life. But I guess it was his time to go."

That's such tragic news! It must be devastating for all who knew this young family.
I wonder though whether Allah in his great mercy would show forgiveness to the (alleged) drink driver, instead of putting a curse on him?
Allahu Alim

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raijoon
Ya Allah, may U forgive their sins, grant patience to their families and may U grant the deceased Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen.
These incidents happen too often, when the culprit drives away, not long ago a driver ran over a young boy here and he fled, didnt even stop, but he got caught by the police. The boy didnt survive, anyway the court judgement was around a week ago, the family werent too happy so out of anger they assaulted the culprit. I can't blame them though, its a very cowardly act to just drive away after you run someone over.

May their souls rest in peace. Amin. Death is a reality which is not realized by many of us. The time limit of the deceased couple in the world recieved an end and the accident became a reason of their death under the cover of pretext. Man is mortal and the world is transitory. We should always pray to God for His forgiveness and mercy upon us.
