Stephanie Lashuay of Tushka was traveling with a minor child south on Highway 69, in a red 2003 Dodge Neon, when she pulled into the parking lot of Lovely Lady. She parked behind a black truck pulling a camper, and proceeded to re-latch the trunk of the car.
After securing the latch, Lashuay reentered her vehicle and attempted to join southbound traffic.
Adelle Marie Digneault from Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania was traveling south on Highway 69 in a semi freight truck owned by Black Sea Transportation.
