Six girls, including a 1-year-old baby, were killed in a car crash on a Tennessee highway in the early hours of Sunday, officials said.
First responders arrived to find a vehicle upside down with extensive damage when they responded to the incident in Robertson County, about 30 miles north of Nashville, just before 2 a.m. local time (3 a.m. ET) on Sunday, the Robertson County Emergency Medical Services department said in a news release.
Six girls, who were between the ages of 1 and 18, were believed to have died after they were ejected from the vehicle, the department said. The exact ages of the victims were not immediately clear.
Two adults were also injured, including a woman who was critically hurt after appearing to have also been thrown from the vehicle, the department said. The woman was transported by air ambulance to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. A man who said he had been in the vehicle also suffered minor injuries and was taken to the TriStar Skyline Trauma Center in Nashville.
