A big-rig truck driver who slammed into the back of a minivan in May, killing three young siblings, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter, authorities said Wednesday. Jorge Miguel
Romero, 37, of Apple Valley is accused of driving at an unsafe speed when his tractor-trailer slammed into the van, fatally injuring Kyle Coble, 5, and his sisters, Emma, 4, and Katie, 2. He

arraigned Sept. 13. He could face three years in jail if convicted. MORE TO READ
