According to a release from Sheriff Keith Everhart, a passerby reported coming upon a vehicle in a field that was fully engulfed in flames on County Road 75 at Township Road 30.
Upon arrival, emergency responders were unable to gain access to the vehicle due to the intensity of the flames.
Once the fire was extinguished, the two occupants were discovered and were pronounced dead at the scene.
