JOHNSTON CITY, Ill. (AP) - Services will be Tuesday for a southern Illinois teenager killed in a weekend rollover wreck caused when her mother swerved to avoid a deer.

Family and friends held a candlelight vigil in Darnell's memory over the weekend in West Frankfort, remembering the teenager as a cheerleading enthusiast.

Services will be at 11 a.m. at the South Point Church of God in West Frankfort.
