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.
