Four people lost their lives Thursday evening when a truck carrying four teens left the road and hit a man mowing his grass on Old CCC Camp Road in Murray County.  

The truck was driven by River Sosbee, 18, and included passengers Alexis Pinson, 18, Joshua Roberts, 17 and Chelsea Hullender, 18.  Ms. Pinson survived and was airlifted by LifeForce to Erlanger Medical Center.  She is now listed in fair condition.

Mr. Sosbee and Mr. Roberts were going to be juniors at Murray County High School.  Ms. Hullender attended North Murray County High School.
