The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is investigating a deadly crash that claimed the lives of two teens.
A 13-year-old and a 15-year-old, who were not wearing their seat belts, were killed in the single-vehicle wreck on Blessing Road in Marshall County. The crash happened at 7:45 a.m. on November 20.
The 13-year-old was pronounced dead on the scene and the 15-year-old died at the hospital the next day.
ALEA said the driver of a 2015 Nissan Altima, Yeismin Ramirez, 18, of Albertville, left the roadway and struck a tree stump, a signpost and a fence.
Ramirez is charged with vehicular manslaughter and two counts of first-degree assault. She was booked into the Marshall County Jail.
