Crash victims’ family reflects on help received this year
A local mother considers the lives of her children to be her greatest Christmas present.
On the night of Friday, May 13, Pam Surano’s three children and a friend were involved in a fiery two-vehicle crash on Evans City Road in Forward Township. Rescued by local track coaches who happened upon the scene, the children are now on the road to recovery.
“We have been given an enormous gift this Christmas,” Surano, a former KDKA reporter, wrote on Facebook on Dec. 13. “It has taken some time to share this, as it’s been a very difficult time.”
Surano said in an email Thursday, Dec. 22, that there’s no way to put into words how grateful her family is for the work done by the people on scene that night.
“We are so grateful their lives were spared by the grace of God and the actions of the amazing coaches and EMS,” she said.
According to police, Surano’s son Michael Maloney, 19, was driving a white SUV around 9:45 p.m May 13 when he crashed into a red SUV which was attempting to turn left.
