Yes, this is real, it happened in 2014. Serena Shim was a reporter, as well as a wife and a mother of two children, ages 2 and 4 at the time of her death.
Serena was born 10-10-85 in Michigan and k***ed in Syria when a vehicle she was a passenger in collided with a cement truck on 10-19-14. It was reported as a head-on collision. The vehicle was driven by her cousin, Judy Irish, a 16 year old who reported she lost consciousness after the incident. In 2016, Judy stated she did not collide with the truck head-on, but what actually happened was far more suspicious than an ordinary vehicle crash. Judy told Fox news: "I was driving in a three lane, one way highway in the fast lane. I could see the semi truck that was behind me in the middle lane. He was going very quickly and he sped up in front of me and cut me off, making me crash into him"
On 10-17-14, Serena reported she had been threatened by Turkish authorities, saying " I am very surprised at this accusation. I've even thought of actually approaching Turkish intelligence and, because I have nothing to hide, I've never done anything aside from my job, and I'd like to make that appear to them. However, I am a bit worried because as you know, and as the viewers know, that turkey has been labeled by reporters without borders, has the largest prison for journalists.. so I'm a bit frightened about what they might use against me - to get that story of [...] militants going in through the Turkish border... I've got images of them in World Food Organization [sic] trucks. it was very apparent that they were militant by their beards, by the clothes they were, and they were going in there with NGO trucks"
At the time of her death, she was covering the siege of Kobani. The Obama administration did not investigate this.
