(Melcher-Dallas, Iowa) – Two teens died as the result of a single-vehicle rollover accident Tuesday night, in south central Iowa’s Marion County. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 1994 Ford Taurus driven by 16-year-old Grace M. Deheer, was traveling north on 80th Avenue, northeast of Melcher-Dallas, at around 8:54-p.m.  When the vehicle crested a hill, it began to travel toward the west ditch. The car entered the ditch and rolled over. Deheer and her passenger, 16-year-old Angelina L. Clark, were ejected. The car came to rest on its top in the roadway.

Both girls, who were from Melcher, died at the scene.
