3 Teens Killed By Carbon Monoxide

Jun 30, 2008 | Chris Tatum | Channel 4 News

Three teenagers were killed Saturday night in Coffee County after their vehicle was stuck in the mud, and it apparently became filled with carbon monoxide. 

Police said the victims, Josh Baker, 18, Kristie Burton, 17, and Alyssa Tucker, 15, became stuck in a mud hole after they were off-roading.

Channel 4's Chris Tatum reported that a friend who had been contacted by one of the teens found their bodies in the sport utility vehicle.

Authorities said it appears that when the SUV became stuck, the muffler was underwater, causing the exhaust to backup into the Jeep Cherokee.

Baker and Burton were engaged and looking forward to their wedding, said Tucker's boyfriend, Jacob Hockstedler.

The dirt road where the incident occurred has been closed off by authorities.
