Roads were wet and snow-covered at the time of the crash, but weather is not being cited as a factor by authorities. Ignatowski, who was a senior at Pittsville High School, was killed. She was not wearing a seat belt. Simonson was trapped in her car and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Good Samaritans stopped at the scene.
