It’s believed a pick-up truck pulled out into the oncoming lane and struck a car head on.

An 18-year-old man, 18-year-old woman, and a youth in the car were all killed, and a teen boy is being treated for serious injuries.

A man who was a passenger of the truck was also seriously injured and the driver of the truck also suffered injuries.
