The car driven by six high school-aged girls who died in a crash with a semitruck on Tuesday came to a "rolling stop" at a stop sign before entering the highway, witnesses said, according to an ongoing National Transportation Safety Board investigation, as the first victim was identified on Friday.
The girls were riding in a small passenger vehicle when it collided with a semitruck at an intersection in the city of Tishomingo, about 122 miles south of Oklahoma City.
On Friday, one of the victims was identified as 15-year-old Brooklyn Triplett. Brooklyn's grandmother, Vada Triplett, confirmed her granddaughter's death to CNN.
