TISHOMINGO, Okla. - Six high school students in Oklahoma who were killed this week in a crash with a semi-truck had been riding in a small car with only four seats, officials said.
The crash was reported Tuesday afternoon in Tishomingo, a rural city of about 3,000 located about 115 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The six teens, all girls and students at Tishomingo High School, were at a stop sign at the intersection of U.S. 377 and Oklahoma 22 around lunchtime when they collided with a rock hauler, KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported.
Only the car's 16-year-old driver and front-seat passenger were wearing seat belts while riding in the four-seat 2015 Chevrolet Spark, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
