When officials arrived, they discovered that seven juveniles were traveling in the vehicle at the time the accident happened. The driver of the vehicle lost control, ran off the road, and struck a tree. Two of the victims had to be extricated and were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. The other occupants were transported with minor injuries. There is no word on the identity of those involved.
