Two young daughters of a Conroe couple died when their Suburban collided with a trailer that had broken loose from a pickup, officials said Sunday.

Holly Snell, 7, was killed instantly and her sister, Heather, 9, was pronounced dead shortly after the 5 p.m. Saturday accident in south Montgomery County.

Robert Snell, 33, and, his wife, Terry, and two other daughters, Ashley and Amber, were taken to local hospitals where they were treated for cuts and bruises, officials said.

The accident occurred near the intersection of Sleepy Hollow and Running Deer roads when the trailer became disengaged from the pickup and collided with the Chevrolet Suburban being driven by Robert Snell, Texas Department of Public Safety records indicate.

The Suburban then smashed into a ditch, landing on its side, the accident report said.

No charges had been filed Sunday against the driver of the pickup.

Everyone in the Snell's vehicle was wearing a safety belt at the time of the accident, the report said
