The Cortland County Sheriff's Office has released the names of the seven people killed Wednesday evening in a tractor trailer and minivan collision.

Seven of those passengers were killed: 26-year-old Teresa Bush, along with her two daughters, 4-year-old Alexis and 5-year-old Jasmine; 21-year-old Lena Beckwith; 24-year-old Carino Vanorden; 7-year-old Alyssa Mead; and 4-year-old Tyler Mead.
