Head-on crash kills sisters going to visit each other

SIX MILE, Ala. -- Two sisters were killed when their vehicles collided head-on on a rural highway as they traveled to visit each other, authorities said.

Authorities said the women were driving Jeeps in opposite directions on Alabama 25 Sunday when one of the vehicles crossed the center line, colliding with the other. Trooper Cpl. Stan Lemon said investigators were trying to determine which car was on the wrong side of the road and why.

Sheila Wentworth, 45, and her sister, Doris Jean Hall, 51, were killed, along with Hall's husband, Billy Joe Hall Jr., 45.

Two children -- one riding in each vehicle -- were injured: the Halls' granddaughter, 8-year-old Amber Jackson, and Wentworth's nephew, Frankie Whaley, 12. Amber was released from a hospital Monday. Frankie remained hospitalized in special care, said Sgt. Will Rogers.
