The vehicle that caught on fire was a sedan. The two people who were killed were in the sedan. They became trapped in the vehicle as it burst into flames. Emergency responders had to remove them from the vehicle, but they were not able to save them.

Medics at the scene took the give other victims to nearby hospitals. Two other people at the scene refused to have medical attention. The conditions of the other five victims are still not known, but we will keep you updated as more information on this tragic crash comes in.
