CAMDEN, S.C. (AP) -- A Winthrop University student has been killed in a wreck as traffic backed up on Interstate 20 in Kershaw County while authorities searched for two missing North Carolina teens.

Coroner Johnny Fellers says 21-year-old Morgan LeAnne Hughes of Conway died in the wreck Sunday night when the car she was in was rear-ended as traffic backed up during the search.

Authorities found the bodies of 18-year-old Jake Ziegler and 17-year-old Ray Pierce of Catawba County in a car in the water under a bridge over the Wateree River. The teens had been missing since Oct. 13.

Two other Winthrop students were hurt in the wreck.

A teen from New Jersey was driving the vehicle that hit them. He was taken to a Columbia hospital. No charges have been filed.
