Two local teenagers lost their lives Thursday afternoon after losing control of their vehicle on 550E north of S.R. 205.
Police say 16-year old Megan Young and 17-year old Andrew Spencer were southbound on 550 East when they apparently lost control of the vehicle, crossing the center line and then apparently over corrected and flipped into a ditch filled with water on the west side of the road.
Police and fire units arrived to find the two teens and their car submerged in waist high ditch water and mud. Crews worked feverishly to extricate the two entrapped teens who were later pronounced dead at the scene.
Dear Mike, Kathy, and the Spencer Family. I regret so much to wake up this morning to read such a tragedy has happened! My heart goes out to you and your family. I can’t even put into words how sorry I am. Such wonderful people, a wonderful family, and Andy was such a wonderful kid! He will be missed. Please know your in my thoughts and prayers.
With all my love,

Dear, Young and Spencer Family.
My heart and prayers go out. I laid in bed last night with that same sick feeling i had 16 years ago. I will continue to pray that you can manage the pain and your families can lean on each other.
There is no greater loss than that of a child.
God Bless you.

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss these families now have to face, but I am comforted to know that they live in a strong community who will surround them with love and faith.
God bless everyone who has been affected by this tragedy

RIP Megan & Andy
Growing up with these two kids this was a blow to me. I send my condolences from the entire Churubusco High School. The Young and Spencer families had two truly amazing kids that will never be forgotten. Everyone at Churubusco’s school is sad and shocked. We love them. We will miss them. They will forever lay in our hearts.
Rest In Peace.
They are with God now.
There are no words that can be said to take away the pain and the loss that both of your families are feeling and dealing with. Andrew and Megan will be missed but they will never be forgotten.
Please remember that as you are down here on HIS earth, feeling the loss, the pain and wondering how you are going to get through all of this, please remember that HE is with you every step of the way. Please also know that both of these young children are sitting at the right hand side of GOD, at HIS table and that one day you will be with your children once again.
My prayers go out to you and your families.
God Bless all of you.
Tanya,

PLEASE remember they r BOTH in a better place and will be their family’s guardian angels till the day u all meet again in heaven.

To the Spencer and Young family: I am so sorry about your loss that words can’t even begin to describe. I have know Andy since the 6th grade and even though we never talked I know he was a good guy. They both were great people and will never be forgotten. God bless you all.
This is the horrible, gut-wrenching side of covering the news. Our hearts stop everytime we hear a siren. Is it serious? Will it be someone we know? Will it be one of our own family members? Will it be a friend of one of our family members?
In this case, yes to three of the four.
Our hearts break for the families of Megan and Andy. Such beautiful, talented young people – a true loss for our community and for these two families.
May God comfort you and carry you during this terrible time of anguish and heartbreak.
