MEBANE, NC : Families mourn 19-year-olds killed in 1-85 wreck on Wednesday, October 4, 2017

Families are mourning the deaths of two teens who lost their lives in a car crash along I-85 Wednesday.

Troopers say the vehicle they were traveling in went off the road at high speed and crashed into trees around 2:30 p.m. between exits 164 and 165.

The driver, Corena Johnson, and passenger, Kelleigh Shropshire, had become close friends after meeting at a local community college last year.

Pieces of the car, shoes, and the sun visor are still in the woods where Johnson and Shropshire, both 19, lost their lives.

Johnson’s mother, Rhonda Johnson, was at the scene trying to find answers about how her daughter’s car ran off the highway.

“It feels like a dream,” she said. “I only had to be here because I just lost my mom two weeks ago and it’s like if there’s really a God, how could he actually do this? My brain can’t even process.”
