LUDLOW (CBS) - State Police have identified two people who were killed in a crash on the Mass. Turnpike Friday night.

Troopers say Clarence Lux, 84, of New Britain, Connecticut was driving the wrong way when he slammed head-on into a car driven by Robert Magee, 28, a former Marine from West Bridgewater. Both drivers were killed.

Two other cars were involved in the crash. None of those occupants were hurt.
