Two Pittsfield High School students died in a two-vehicle collision south of Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon.
Illinois State Police said the vehicle carrying the youths was eastbound on Woodson-Winchester Road and crossed U.S. Route 67, colliding with a truck.
Four others were taken to area hospitals.
Pikeland Schools Superintendent Todd Fox on social media identified the students who were killed as senior Jesse Davidsmeyer and junior Joel Noble.
The crash occurred three months after a collision that killed Pittsfield student Reese Ramsey.
