Victims in Fatal Crash Identified, Candlelight Vigil Scheduled
UPDATED 5:14pm 8/11/11 The two people who were killed in an accident Wednesday on a rural Wataga road have been identified.

The Knox County Sheriffs Department says 16-year old Dustin Frazier II of rural Knox County, and 16-year old Quinn Dombrow formerly of Galesburg, were in the vehicle that crashed around nine a-m yesterday at 650 Knox Road 1850 North in Wataga.

Deputies say Frazier was behind the wheel of the S.U.V. which he lost control of, causing the vehicle to enter a ditch and roll over twice, killing him and Dombrow.

It's not clear if either was wearing a seat belt.

Published reports suggested identification of the two victims was a problem, and that the SUV wasn't registered to either of them.

One of the two was ejected 75-feet from the vehicle, while the other was partially ejected.

Autopsy information isn't yet available.

A candlelight vigil for the two is scheduled for Saturday evening at seven o'clock at the basketball court across the street from Casey's in Wataga.
