Two young sisters have died after a driver crashed into their mother’s stalled car on on an interstate in North Carolina.

According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, 9 year-old Mequea Spears and 5 year-old Aiysha Spears of Bennettsville were killed when a Ford Explorer rear ended their mother’s broken-down Honda Civic on Tuesday. The civic was stalled on the westbound shoulder of Interstate 85 near Mebane, North Carolina, police say.
The girls’ mother, Andrea L. Purvis, 31, and an 8 year-old child in her car were transported to local hospitals for treatment.

The driver of the Explorer was treated for minor injuries at the scene of the crash. State Troopers say they do not plan to charge him.
