A teenage driver and one of his three passengers - none of whom was wearing a seatbelt - died in a two-vehicle crash Friday night in southern Chester County, state police said.

Police said Arick T. Price, 18, of West Grove, was traveling at 10:12 p.m. on State Road, east of Meadow Woods Lane, in London Grove Township. As he was nearing a curve, Price drove to the left of the double yellow line to overtake and pass multiple vehicles traveling in the same direction.

While on the wrong side of the road, Price's 1998 Plymouth Neon collided head-on with a 2000 GMC Yukon, which was "lawfully approaching from the opposite direction," police said.

Price and a 15-year-old passenger, who was not identified by police, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Brittany L. Miller, 21, of Lincoln University, a 16-year-old boy from Landenberg, who was also not identified, and all four occupants of the Yukon sustained major injuries and were taken to Christiana Hospital, police said.

Police said the driver of the Yukon was Henry E. Manlove, 48, of Lincoln University. His passengers were Christy T. Manlove, 46, of Lincoln University, and two unidentified 14-year-old girls, one from Lincoln University, and one from Cochranville. Only the adults were wearing seatbelts, police said.
