In May, investigators responded to the crash on Highway 83 which killed Julee and Festus Poyner. The couple had their 2-year-old son with them in the car who suffered serious injuries.

Now, investigators say Skylar Pagano was driving a stolen pickup truck that hit the family. They say the truck was stolen out of Westminster.

Friends of the Poyner's set up a GoFundMe page to help the boy with long-term medical needs and the overall care of the siblings who will live in the care of relatives.
