The article says 4 people died in the crash, yet it was only 1 car, a Corvette

1 driver; one on the center console; two sharing the passenger's seat
I suppose a couple of them could have been in the rear storage area. That would have freed up the passenger's seat for the console rider.
On one occasion, I had four adults in my '74 coupe. Good thing we were all related.

It was a C6. Plenty of room in the "trunk" for two people.

I had 4 people in my '69 several times, long, long ago.
A friend of mine had 4 people in his '73 once. Hit a speed bump too fast and the rear tires went up into the fender wells and cracked both quarter panels. They were bigger than stock tires.

While young and dumb, one cold winter day, lot's of snow/ice on the streets, I, along with four of my buds, rode a Harley 125 around the neighborhood (until the cop saw us...
..).

Contrary to popular belief, Corvettes are not built for "STREET" racing

Wow. Carnage happens.
Too bad for the young people involved; they won't make the same mistake twice. Condolences to their families.
