Two teenage girls perished in a single-vehicle accident in eastern Kentucky.
The accident happened Sunday morning at approximately 2:30 on Hwy 680 in Branham Creek in Floyd County.
Police told Mountain Top Media that the truck, being driven by 20-year-old Marcus Auxier, of Nippa, had six people inside and left the roadway and overturned.
Pronounced deceased at the scene were 13-year-old MaKenna R. Barnett and 16-year-old Kendra J. Moreno, both of Prestonsburg. The other four occupants were transported to local hospitals.
