FRANKLIN COUNTY, N.Y. -- Two people were killed when their car went off the St. Regis River Bridge on Route 37 in Franklin County. Police said at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, their car crossed over the center line on the bridge, hit the guard rail, and went into the river in Akwesasne.

A little more than two hours later, crews pulled Jacob Light, 23, and Sheyanne Smoke, 23, from the vehicle. They were taken to separate hospitals where both were pronounced dead.
