The Kent woman injured in a Skamania County crash over the weekend that killed her two sons and husband has been released from the hospital.

Mariya Goy, 49, was released from Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, where her son Andrey Goy, 11, remains in fair condition, according to a statement from the family.

Five members of the Goy family were returning from a vacation in the Columbia Gorge on Saturday evening. They were driving west on state Highway 14 near Milepost 33 when around 8 p.m. an eastbound 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck driven by 24-year-old Heath T. Martin of North Bonneville crossed into oncoming lanes and struck the minivan head-on, the Washington State Patrol said. Martin, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, the WSP said.

Troopers also discovered Martin had a medical restriction on his license, which had been canceled, said Sgt. Nate Hovinghoff.

Anatoliy Goy, 47, and Daniel Goy, 7, died at the scene of the crash. Alexander, Andrey and Mariya Goy were taken to Legacy Emanuel. Alexander was taken off of life support on Monday and died at the hospital.

Andrey is still recovering from lacerations to his body and face, the family statement said.

The family was in the Columbia Gorge for a Father’s Day weekend trip that included a boat ride on the day of the crash. The boys described it as “the best day of their lives,” according to the statement.

The Goys have three older children, who did not accompany them on the trip to the Gorge: Vasiliy, 23, Serge, 21, and Mira, 17, who helped put together the statement.

They said their father and brothers will be buried in Kent. A fundraising website was set up for the Goy family to help pay for memorial and medical costs.
