Wednesday, August 19, 2009

NEW PARIS, Pa. (AP) — State police and Department of Transportation officials are studying an intersection where three teens were killed when their vehicle collided with a sport-utility vehicle in southwestern Pennsylvania.

State police say 17-year-old Steven Mowery, and his two passengers, 15-year-old Brandi Strom and 18-year-old Roger McGarry, were killed in the crash in Napier Township, Bedford County, about 8 p.m. Monday.

Police say none of the teens were wearing seat belts. The driver of the SUV wasn’t badly hurt. All three teens killed in Monday’s crash were set to resume classes at the school next week.

Three teens were killed in a crash nearby just after graduating from Chestnut Ridge High School in 2002.
