PUYALLUP, WA — Two teenagers have died and two more are in the hospital after their car crashed early Friday morning in Puyallup.
According to Puyallup police, at around 3:30 a.m. the car had been speeding east down 31st Avenue Southwest, and was going so fast that a bump in the road launched it into the air near the intersection of 31st and South Fruitland. When the car landed, the driver lost control, and drove into a ditch which caused the car to flip over.
Two of the passengers were thrown from the car as it rolled. One, a 16-year-old boy, was pronounced dead on the scene when medics arrived. The other boy, a 17-year-old, was rushed to Saint Joseph's Hospital but died from his injuries shortly after arriving.
