The parents of three young children are dealing with a horrifying tragedy as they were all killed after an alleged drunk driver hit a car being driven by their grandmother.

Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, and sister Milly, 2, along with their grandfather Gary Neville, 65, were killed when the car their grandmother Neriza was driving was hit by Marco Muzzo in Vaughan, Ontario.

Harrison and Milly passed away at the hospital while holding hands as their grandmother sang to them from her phone.

She had been pinned in the car and screaming the names of the children and her husband when officials arrived on the scene - unaware that her husband was dead.

Horrific: The children's grandmother, who was driving , and great grandmother were also injured and remain hospitalized in Vaughan, Ontario (crash scene above)

'It’s like the worst nightmare, as a daughter, as a parent, to have to go through and just know it was caused by someone’s stupidity… It just kills me,' Jennifer Neville-Lake, the mother of the children, told news station CP24 according to the National Post.

Also injured was Jennifer's grandmother, Josephina Frias, who was in the car as well at the time of the crash and remains hospitalized.

The grandparents of the three children often cared for them as their parents worked full time.

Jennifer began to worry on Sunday when they were late dropping the three off - and then she found out the tragic news.

Victim: The children's grandfather Gary Neville (above) was also killed in the horrific crash

Muzzo, 29, has been charged with a dozen impaired-driving offences and six charges related to the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Another car was also hit in the crash, but none of the passengers suffered any major injuries.

His bail hearing is set for Friday and his lawyer Rudi Covre said; 'I’m sure you can appreciate that this is a very tough time for him. It’s a difficult period in his life right now. We’re going to have to get through it.'

Muzzo was returning home from his bachelor party in Las Vegas and had just flown in on a private jet according to theYork Region.

They also write that 'media have reported police sources said Muzzo had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit and ran a stop sign.'

He was set to marry Taryn Hampton next month.

The Toronto Sun reports that he works for the billion-dollar construction empire that was founded by his grandfather, who shares the same name and was estimated to be worth $1.7billion at the time of his death in 2005 from cancer.

Marco's father died in 2004, a year before his own father.

'We are all greatly saddened by yesterday's tragedy and express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Neville, Lake and Frias families. We would ask for the co-operation of the media in respecting the privacy of our family during this very difficult time,' said Muzzo's maother Dawn in a statement.

A GoFundMe site set up for the family has raised $60,000 to help them with their expenses.

Jennifer wrote on Facebook after the tragedy; 'Thank you everyone.

'Your kind words and messages mean so much to my husband and as we sit in our sons empty room surrounded by our children's things.

'As you know all of my children have gone home to God with my dad. My mother and grandmother are still in the hospital.

'Today we hope to see our big one as we were unable to see him last night. Please keep us in your prayers. God bless. '
