A pair of Clinton teens were extricated and airlifted from a serious car crash outside Clinton Tuesday night.

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker indicates the accident occurred in the evening hours on Burns Hill Road outside Clinton. He explains the driver of the vehicle lost control on a hill on Burns Hill Road and the vehicle left the roadway and struck nearby trees.

As of early Wednesday, Sheriff Walker was not sure of the status of the two individuals involved in the accident.

Sheriff Walker credits all the entities involved in getting the teens out of the vehicle and into medical care on Tuesday. He says citizens of DeWitt County should be proud of everyone that sacrifices a lot to serve the community.

Sheriff Walker implores parents to talk with their kids about driving in the country and doing so after dark.
