Two teenage cousins , one from Middle Township, the other from Philadelphia, were struck by an SUV and killed as they walked along Bayshore Road in Middle Township Tuesday evening.

The two teens, ages 14 and 15-years-old, whose names were not released by police, were with a third girl who was apparently uninjured in the accident. Police were called to the scene at 9:17p.m.

The Press of Atlantic City reports that the driver of the vehicle did stop after the accident and the indecent is not a hit and run.  6abc.com is reporting that the vehicle involved was an SUV.

The girls were walking eastbound across from the Green Creek Firehouse, in the Green Creek section of Middle Township, near the intersection of Rt. 47, when they were hit, according to the police.

Neighbors say that stretch of road has no sidewalk,  a very narrow shoulder, and curves which make it hard to see far ahead while driving.

The accident remains under investigation.
