Three teens were killed in a tragic car crash in Missouri after they lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a vacant home early Wednesday.
Investigators with the Missouri State Highway Patrol said that the 15-year-old driver was traveling too fast when he failed to dodge a curve and went off the roadway before crashing into the home in the University City area.
He and two other 15-year-old boys who were riding the doomed car all perished in the crash. The driver was reportedly the only occupant wearing a seat belt.
“It is with profound sadness that we learned of the news that three of our high school students were involved in a fatal automobile accident this morning,” the Ladue School District said in a statement.
“We hold the families of our students in our thoughts.”
Police said that the car belonged to one of the victims’ parents.
