Layna Brown was heading to the Okanagan with her eight-year-old twin boys on Tuesday to celebrate her birthday.

Brown’s father, Kevin Brown, told Glacier Media the family was expecting them in Kelowna at 5:30 p.m. for dinner.

“Her husband called and said that he was concerned because he couldn’t get a hold of them, and heard there was an accident near Chilliwack,” Brown said.

“We gave it a little more time and continued to not be able to get a hold of her, at which point [we] started to think she was involved [in the crash].”

Layna, 40, and son Dominic died in the six-vehicle pileup on Highway 1 near near Yale Road West on Tuesday afternoon. The crash involved 10 drivers and passengers.

Twin Tristan was taken to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver with serious injuries.
