Two pick-up trucks apparently hit head on turning the vehicles into fiery graves Friday evening near the Braxton County-Clay County line.

Early reports say as many as five people may have perished.

State Police were still on the scene at 11 p.m. and no official details have been released.

No exact time for the crash is known, but it's estimated the tragedy occurred between dusk and 6:30 p.m.

One vehicle may have been speeding down the interstate in the wrong lane.
