Two Bemidji Teens Die in Traffic Accident

Two Bemidji high school students were killed in a traffic accident on Wednesday evening.

Kiara Renollette and Jacob Bruns were both 16 years old. They were driving on southbound Highway 71, located just outside of Bemidji, when Bruns lost control of the vehicle and collided with a truck.

The Bemidji school district is still shaken by the news. Their officials are giving students, several of whom are siblings of the accident victims, access to grief counselors and social workers during this difficult time.
