SCOTT COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The East Tennessee community is in mourning after a deadly crash that killed four Scott High School cheerleaders in an SUV and an adult woman and an unborn child in another vehicle.
Two of the cheerleaders killed in the crash, Jamie Hill, 15, and Aleasha Hill, 17, were sisters. The other girl killed was identified as Nikki Hughett, 16. Their friend and fellow cheerleader, Ashley Mason, 15, was critically injured and later died at UT Medical Center in Knoxville.
In the other vehicle, passenger Jeweline Ledbetter King , 49, was killed, and a 22-year-old pregnant woman, Miranda King, was sitting in the back seat and lost her unborn child from injuries in the crash. The car's driver, 22-year-old Malcum King, and a 10-month-old child, Aiden Wilson, also were injured and taken to a hospital. Their conditions are not known.
The Hill family and the Mason family have asked that memorial donations be made in lieu of flowers to help pay for funeral expenses. Donations may be sent directly to Four Oaks Funeral Home in Huntsville, Tenn., and should be made either in the name of the Hill sisters or in the name of Ashley Mason.
A tree of life has been set up at Four Oaks Funeral Home in remembrance of Jamie, Aleasha, Nikki, and Ashley. You can bring ribbons to place on the tree, and they will remain there until all funeral services are concluded.
In our comments section, please leave your thoughts and comments as a memorial to those killed, prayers for those healing from their injuries, and words of encouragement for those in mourning.

I am just overwhelmed with emotion by the show of support, love, & generosity provided to our community by the Knox Catholic students, staff, & parents. They are definitely a class act!! The amount of support they have shown to the entire community is outstanding! I can't even find the words to describe how it makes me feel. I know that the Scott High staff, students and the families of the girls have to be overwhelmed by this also. I just want them to know that their kindness with be rewarded tenfold!!! Thank you from someone on the outside!! You are awesome!! Also the students of Oneida Schools have shown that we are all one! Good job OES, OMS, & OHS!
