Two girls were killed when a sport utility vehicle ran off a road on the near 87th and Quest, which is north of Sorenson Parkway.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Department says the crash occurred about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday near Irvington.  Investigators say the SUV didn't stop at a T intersection and flipped over after it ran into a ravine.
