SHEFFIELD, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont State Police are looking for two men who they say are connected to a UTV crash that killed a teenager last week.

Investigators say last Thursday, Samantha Henderson, 19, of Lyndon, crashed a Side-by-Side on Blake Pond Road in Sheffield. Henderson was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was not wearing a seat belt or helmet at the time of the crash.
