Two young children were killed late Sunday night in a car accident with their mother at the wheel.

According to a local police report, the 25-year-old mother was driving a 2012 Nissan Altima at a very high rate of speed when she ran into the rear end of a tractor trailer.

The accident took place on Interstate 15, near Baker, California.

The driver sustained moderate injuries from the accident, but her kids, 9-year-old Thurgood Marshall and 5-year-old Ariyana Daniel, who were not properly harnessed into the vehicle, were killed. The driver of the truck tractor trailer was not injured.

CHP officers are looking into the cause of the accident, and the name of the woman has not yet been released.
