ASHLAND, Mississippi (AP) — Three of the six people killed in storms that rolled across Tennessee were found in a submerged car, police said Friday.

The Columbia Police Department said in a news release that the bodies of three people were found in a car submerged in a creek Thursday afternoon.

The names of the victims have not been released, but the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said the deceased are a 19-year-old female and two 22-year-old males. The agency said the deaths were weather-related.

The unseasonably warm, severe weather also was responsible for seven deaths in Mississippi and one in Arkansas.

Dozens more were injured, some seriously, Greg Flynn, spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, said Thursday.

Peak tornado season in the U.S. South is in the spring, but such storms can happen at any time.
