Only 2? That's a miracle looking at the car.

The car is not designed for driver plus two women sharing seat with no seat belt. Must have been high speed and more than likely, alcohol involved.

Toxicology tests should provide the rest of the story.

The driver's friend posted on Facebook that he was intoxicated and he has also died.

What a bunch of idiots. It's horrible that they died but what they did was just plain stupid.

When will people learn?

Rest in Peace.

Thankfully they did not kill someone else.

RIP.

Glad my 20ish stupidity wasn't fatal, esp to others.

"unclear what led up to the crash" Hmm, take a wild guess!

Is the motor for sale?

Bad karma! It's the motor's fault! If it hadn't been so powerful, they'd still be alive!
