CANTON - Friends and families of two teenagers killed in an Interstate 575 wreck are grieving over the loss. <br> <br> About 60 teenagers gathered at an east Cobb County home Thursday during a three-hour vigil for one of the victims - 18-year-old Graham Michael Cole - a Independence High School senior in Roswell. <br> <br> Seventeen-year-old Kimberly Nicole Andrews -- a senior at Pope High School - also was killed and four other teens were hurt Wednesday night when the sport-utility vehicle they were in veered off I-575 in Cherokee County and crashed into a tree. <br> <br> About four carloads of teens were headed from Cobb to a vacation home on Lake Arrowhead northwest of Canton. <br> <br> Andrews&#39; car broke down, so she and her passengers climbed into a Toyota Four-Runner driven by 18-year-old Stephanie Fuller, of Marietta. <br> <br> Fuller told police something crossed in her path, causing her to swerve off the road just south of Georgia 20. <br> <br> ``She was inexperienced in a new car that she wasn&#39;t familiar with,&#34; Canton Assistant Police Chief Dennis Appling said. <br> <br> Two others injured remained hospitalized last night. Sixteen-year-old Bridgette Weir, listed in stable condition; and 17-year-old John Whitfield, listed in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.
