FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- The two people killed in a head-on crash in Fresno County Friday night have been identified.

The Sheriff's Office identified the two as 18-year-old Yareli Lemus-Molina and 15-year-old Dominick Reyes.

It happened at about 10:20 pm on Highway 43, just north of Davis Avenue. That's southwest of Kingsburg.

The California Highway Patrol says a Toyota Camry was heading South when Lemus-Molina crossed over the center line to pass traffic, but instead crashed with a Range Rover heading North.

Lemus-Molina and Reyes were in the Camry and died at the scene.

A second passenger in the Camry and the two people in the Range Rover were taken to the hospital.

Officials say marijuana use was suspected by the teens in the Camry.
