RIPLEY, Miss. (AP) - An early-morning crash has killed two teenagers from Ripley.
Tippah County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Chris McCalister says 19-year-old Diana Johnson and 18-year-old Chris Blackmon died instantly when Johnson’s car hit a tree about 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
He tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (https://bit.ly/1uuOpZi ) that the car apparently ran off to the right, overcorrected, and the passenger side hit a tree on the left side of Moores Mill Road.
McCalister says both teens were wearing seat belts.
