JOHANNESBURG, South Africa —
Two American Peace Corps volunteers were killed when their car careened down a mountainside in South Africa, U.S. officials said Monday.
Juanita Quiton, 39, of Portland, Ore., and Brenda Sue Crawford, 27, of Frostburg, Md., were killed Friday afternoon while on their way to a vacation in Zimbabwe, said Peace Corps officials who held a memorial service for them Monday.
The two had worked in Swaziland, a small mountain kingdom bordered on three sides by South Africa and on the fourth by Mozambique.
