The pickup then hit a white Cadillac XT5 driven by a woman, the agency said.
Kim was taken to DHR Health, where he died. The Ford's driver and child went to South Texas Health System McAllen, and the GMC's driver and child went to DHR Health, all with non-life-threatening injuries. The Cadillac driver was not hurt.

Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
