Then on Christmas Eve, police said a drunken driver ran a red light in Murray, slamming into a car and killing members of a Cedar Hills, Utah County, family.

Cheryl Ceran, 47; her 15-year-old son, Ian; and 7-year-old daughter Julianna, were killed in the crash. Husband and father Gary Ceran, and two other children, 19-year-old Clarissa and 12-year Caleb, were hospitalized but survived. Carlos Rodolfo Prieto, 24, is facing three counts of automobile homicide.

"It was the Cerans in December and the Williams in February and I just wonder who's next," Bell said. "We need to do something. ... It's just too devastating, too painful, too too many."

Despite the tragedy that has befallen his family, President Wood said Williams expressed concern about the driver who hit them.

"He'd just been brought into the hospital," President Wood recalled. "He was as concerned about the driver of the other car as he was his own family."
