A one-car accident Wednesday evening on Springhurst Road in Bedford left six teens injured and police saying that speed may have been a factor in the crash, according to The Journal News.

Reporter Terence Corcoran wrote that two of the six teens riding in the 2007 Honda Civic, who were in the back seat, were ejected from the vehicle when it struck a tree.

“The vehicle appeared to be operating at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control,” Bedford Police Lt. Jeff Dickan told The Journal News. A 17-year-old Bedford Hills boy was driving. In all, three girls and three boys were in the car. All are from Bedford Hills except a 19-year-old man from Katonah.
