A fatal car crash on Interstate 81 North near exit 6 took the lives of two men on Saturday, but a mystery currently surrounds their identity.  Omar Ortega was traveling Northbound on the highway with two other occupants when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to go into the median, rolling over and ejecting two passengers.  Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The Berkeley County Sheriff has not released the names of the two as both had United States and Mexico identification cards, but with different names.  It is believed they may not be legal residents.
