Driver Wells and passenger Everett were pronounced dead on the scene, according to troopers.
According to state police, two cars and one tractor-trailer were involved in the crash. Investigators said Wells somehow lost control of the vehicle, hit a guardrail on the right shoulder and the vehicle bounced back into the right lane. At that point, it was hit by a tractor trailer, which sent the victims’ car into another car on the highway. source
The investigation into what led up to the crash continues.
