Two Chrysler engineers were killed Friday, March 9, while test driving a Dodge Avenger on a road near Seville, Spain.

Mary Shams, 42, and Yaritza Bello, 29, both from Rochester, Mich., died after their vehicle collided with another vehicle, Mike Aberlich, Chrysler spokesman, said today.

Both were members of Chrysler's front-wheel-drive product team.

Spanish authorities are still investigating the collision, Aberlich said. Relatives of both women traveled to Spain.
