STOCKTON, Calif. — Two Manteca teens — between the ages 16 and 17 — were killed in a crash Thursday night near Stockton, the California Highway Patrol said in a Facebook post.
The CHP said the crash that killed the two happened late Thursday on Dos Reis Road at the San Joaquin River.
Police said four teens were in a Honda Accord driving at a "high rate of speed" when the driver went over the raised levee, through the fence and flipped into the river.
The driver — a 17-years-old male — was able to get out of the flipped vehicle on his own. Police said he suffered "minor injuries." Another person in the car — a 16-year-old girl — was resuscitated and taken to the hospital. The two victims, both girls, were pronounced dead on the scene.
"Alcohol impairment was determined to be a factor in the collision," police said.
Police have not released more information about the incident due to the people involved being under the age of 18.
