Hart, a senior at Hamilton Heights in Arcadia, and Byram a junior at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, were both killed while on their way to prom in a two-vehicle crash near Kokomo Saturday night.
According to reports, Byram was operating a Honda Accord, with Hart as his passenger, when the vehicle came into contact with an SUV around 5:15 p.m. Saturday.
Two other young people traveling in the Honda suffered unknown injuries.
