"They were loving, selfless, and empathetic," it reads. "Their absence will forever be felt in our hearts."
The Salibs were in a Honda CR-V driven by Mark, a former Colts Neck football player, when they were rear-ended by a woman in a 2019 Lexus NX around 1:30 p.m., authorities said. She first sideswiped a 2015 black Lexus RX350, prosecutors said.
She went on to side-swipe a white 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, before rear-ending the Salibs, who struck a 2009 Scion TC on impact.
The driver of the Lexus was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. Other drivers and passengers sought medical attention for minor injuries.
On Twitter, Colts Neck Football said: "Mark always worried about others before himself."
