PASCO — The second girl who was burned in a crash on I-182 at Pasco has died.

The Washington State Patrol says 11-year-old Taylor Tefft died Wednesday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Her 12-year-old cousin, Alexandra Hatley died Tuesday at the hospital. The Tri-City Herald reports the girls were sixth-graders at Chief Joseph Middle School in Richland.

Three other people were injured in Monday’s collision.

The Washington State Patrol says a car driven by Hatley’s father, Tim Woodall of Richland, rear-ended a car that had a mechanical problem and was trying to pull over to the shoulder. Both cars caught fire.
