January 9, 2012, 3:59 pm


An allegedly drunk driver killed a boy and injured his mother and brother Sunday night.  A pick-up truck sideswiped two cars on Southwest Canyon Road near Linden just before 8:00, killing 10 year-old David Kardashov.  48-year-old Vera Kardashov is in critical condition with a lacerated spleen, large laceration to her left leg and multiple bruises and other lacerations.  15-year-old Alex was treated for minor bumps and bruises.  Firefighters used heavy equipment to rescue them.  Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue says debris was spread over a quarter mile.

The driver who sideswiped the cars was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving.  The people inside were not cooperative in identifying the driver.  Eventually, 38-year-old Paige Couch of Vancouver was charged with manslaughter and assault.  She's jailed on $250,000 bail.
