Brothers Daniel and Adam Díaz, who were not in the car at the time of the accident, are in shock over their deaths. “We feel lost. We don’t even know what’s next,” Daniel told KMGH-TV. “It doesn’t even feel real yet.”

Their parents and sisters were heading to Walmart after going to church on Oct. 26, according to KKTV and KMGH.

“None of them were really answering their phones, so that’s when I came in,” Adam told KKTV. “I got there pretty quickly, but everything was already in flames. There was nothing they could do.”

“It just didn’t seem real to me. I was really hoping it was a nightmare,” he added.
