DATELINE: SCOTTSVILLE LENGTH: Short
Mark Ingle, 18, and Charles Banton, 19, both of Cumberland County, were in critical condition at the University of Virginia Hospital, according to a hospital spokesman.
The vehicle in which Ingle and Banton were riding collided head-on with a pickup truck Saturday evening just south of Scottsville. Two other passengers with Ingle and Banton were injured.
The four Waynesboro men in the pickup died.
The pickup was traveling north on Virginia 20 when it skidded in a curve and struck the oncoming Blazer, according to Trooper R.A. Cox. The nose of the Blazer was imbedded several feet into the cab of the pickup.
"It appears at this time that the pickup truck was traveling above the maximum safe speed for the curve," Cox said. "The safe speed of 50 is posted at each end of the curve."
State police identified those killed as Mickey Harmon Brown, 32, the driver of the pickup; his brother, Carl Allen Brown, 21; Mitchell Blaine Male, 26; and Kevin Ashby Hubbard.
Police said all but Hubbard died at the scene.
Two others injured in the Blazer, Robert Paul Ingle, 30, of Cumberland County and Ernest Steve Palmore of Buckingham County, were in stable condition at the UVa hospital.
