  article Family of four killed in Pleasanton crash A family of four was killed&nbsp;in a fiery crash in Pleasanton on Wednesday night, authorities confirmed. Maski said she is now trying to console her child, who played with the couple's children. It’s very hard to explain to children that a friend of theirs, who was there last night and this morning, is not there, she said. Maski said the boys went to Donlon Elementary School and Hart Middle School, where school officials have sent grief counselors. Larry Lai, who lives off Foothill Boulevard, said he was outside when he heard explosions at the time of the crash. Every five to 10 seconds, a big boom, maybe about five to eight&nbsp;times he said. Shortly after, he said he heard sirens. Lai warned drivers in the area to, slow down on Foothill Boulevard, please.    Multiple deaths in Pleasanton car crash Pleasanton police said that multiple people died in a car crash Wednesday night. Less than two miles away from where the crash happened, the family’s home on Friday was surrounded in support by neighbors bringing flowers. Friends said the victims' relatives are flying in over the weekend from India. The family was the most welcoming family to anybody in the neighborhood, said Maski. They will be missed heavily. Pleasanton police said speed may have played a role in the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing. Members of the community are planning a vigil for the family on Sunday afternoon at ValVista Park.
