Two members of a Delano, Tenn., family died in a car crash Wednesday afternoon.

Three other people were in Bloom's car: 28-year-old David P. Bloom, 10-year old Dawson J. Bloom and 8-year-old Kadin S. Pike. All three were injured, according to the THP.

The construction truck driver, Larry Chambers, 49, of Hayesville, N.C., was not injured. He was driving southbound when he hit the Saturn, which pulled out in front of him, according to the THP. No charges have been filed.
