SIENNA PLANTATION, Texas (KTRK) -- Three kids who lost their parents in a horrific crash spoke to hundreds of high school students Thursday.

ABC13 met Aaron, Peter, and Willa Berry years ago. They were traveling with their parents in West Texas. A distracted driver crashed into them. The impact killed their parents and left the boys paralyzed from the waist down.
