FRANKFORT, Ind. – The friends and family of the two girls killed Wednesday night when a vehicle crashed into a home, gathered in Frankfort to remember them.
The prayer vigil honored the lives of 18-year-old Haleigh and her 8-year-old sister Callie Fullerton. The girls were inside of a Clinton County home when a teen driver lost control of her vehicle around 9:30 p.m.

“Right now my heart says there's no need to get up, but they're in heaven,” said the girls’ grandfather Brad Fullerton
The vehicle went through a ditch and a field before crashing into the house. The driver told police that she was going about 80 miles per hour at the time of the crash.
