The North Carolina Highway Patrol says 4 members of the family were killed Friday when their mini-van crossed the median and struck two other vehicles on Interstate 77 in Surry County, North Carolina.

Investigators believe the father behind the wheel feel asleep while driving around 9:00 a.m.

A husband and wife struck by the family's car during the wreck are listed in critical condition.
