TOWNSEND, Del. - Police say the five people killed Friday in a crash on a Delaware highway were a 61-year-old father from New Jersey and his four daughters.

Delaware State Police on Saturday did not release the names of those killed, but they did say the New Jersey family was from the town of Teaneck.  They were later identified as Audie Trinidad and his four daughters Kaitlyn, 20; Danna, 17; and Melissa and Allison, 13-year-old twins were the victims identified as the victims. 

The 53-year-old mother was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.  Mary Rose Trinidad was reportedly still in critical condition on Saturday night.

Police say the family was riding in a minivan Friday afternoon on U.S. Route 1 in Townsend when a pickup truck traveling south crossed the median for unknown reasons and hit the northbound minivan and another car.

The truck driver, 44-year-old Alvin S. Hubbard, Jr. from East New Market, Maryland, was treated and released from the hospital.
