Six high school aged girls were reportedly in a highway crash involving a semi truck in Oklahoma on Tuesday.

The crash occurred at the intersection of US Highways 22 and 377 at 12.30pm local time in Tishomingo, which is about 120 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

The six girls were in a small passenger vehicle and died, according to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
