(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Two Sallisaw teenagers are dead after their car was hit by a freight train.

State troopers say driver Derek Shockey was dead at the scene Sunday. Passenger Derek Lee was taken to a Sallisaw hospital where he died a few minutes after arriving.

The Highway Patrol says Shockey failed to stop at a railroad crossing and his car was hit by a train pulling 136 cars of coal. Shockey's car was dragged more than 2,400 feet before the train could stop.
