Two students lost their lives in a fatal car accident on Friday, when two cars collided on US 131.
Sophomore Carolena Elowsky and sophomore Maura Brandi, both 20, died when their car heading northbound lost control and hit a car driving south, according to a report from upnorthlive.com. Both girls were pronounced dead on scene.
Both Elowsky and Brandi were from Charlevoix, Michigan, according the report.
The State News learned of Elowsky's death last night, when her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, released a statement.
"Today we lost such a beautiful and amazing sister," the statement said. "Our hearts are all very heavy and we loved you so deeply, Carolena. You will be missed tremendously and we know we have a gorgeous angel watching over us."
