Two teenagers were killed and a third was injured in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 77 early Sunday morning, according to Cleveland police.
Officers were called to the northbound lanes of I-77 near the I-90 East/East 9th Street/Ontario Street split shortly after 1:15 a.m. for reports of a serious accident.
Investigators determined the vehicle had been traveling north at a high speed, weaving past other cars on the right. As it approached the curve leading toward I-90 East, the vehicle veered off the left side of the road, plowed through the grass, and rolled several times down an embankment.
All three occupants were ejected from the car during the crash.
An 18-year-old male was pronounced dead at the scene. Another 18-year-old male was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. A 17-year-old male was also transported for treatment; police have not released details on his condition.
Speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities have not released the names of those involved.
