Two women are dead, and two others are recovreing after an early morning wreck in Franklin County, Tennessee.

Sewanee-University of the South says Kathryn 'Katy' Christianson and Kathleen Beach were pronounced dead on the scene after the accident along Highway 41A near Airport Road.

Two other Sewanee students were injured and both airlifted by Lifeforce to Erlanger Hospital.

Christianson was a graduate of Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga, and was part of the Class of 2012 at Sewanee.  Beach is a Clarksville native, according to a statement on the Sewanee website.

The Tennesee Highway Patrol tells us the four were on their way to Rowing practice at the University of the South.  Right now, it appears that the car pulled out in front of an 18-wheeler.  

Both Christianson and Beach were in the front seat.  Their injured classmates, identified as Arden Jones of Greenwood, Virginia, and Anna Summs of Cookeville, Tennessee, were in the back.  Jones and Summs' condition is not known at this time.

The driver of the truck was not injured in the accident.
