Two adults have been identities. One is 27-year-old Aime Tarango and another one is 36-year-old Marleen Moncada, both from Oklahoma City. They were pronounced dead on the scene.

Two children, a 7-year-old girl, and 3-year-old boy, were also killed in the vehicle crash. A 16-year-old was admitted to the hospital and was said to be in stable condition.

The cause of the crash is yet to be known.
