Funeral arrangements have been set for the two teenagers who were killed in a crash in Maury County.

Charles Poe, age 17, and Michael Sawyers, age 15, were traveling southbound on Theta Pike in Columbia when they took overcorrected on a curve, hit a bridge and went through a fence.

The vehicle then flipped and caught fire. Authorities said one of them was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected.

Both Poe and Sawyers died at the scene.
