BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Authorities have released the names of two girls who were killed in a southern Montana crash that left seven others injured.

The Billings Gazette reports 8-year-old Mona Eagle Star and 12-year-old Lola Pickett, both of Lame Deer, were killed in Monday night’s crash near Busby.

The three women in the other car were hospitalized.
