Five 17-year-old boys die after their vehicle drives off a cliff near Grand Junction, Colorado, late Saturday night. Police say their bodies are found at the scene the following morning, and that investigators are working to determine how the crash happens.
The Oregonian reports that a passing driver spots something below the roadway, which leads to the discovery of the crash site and the fatalities. Both outlets describe the incident as a vehicle plunge from a rural roadway into a cliff area. Authorities have not publicly released a definitive cause. The investigation includes whether factors such as vehicle speed played a role, but the cause remains under review.
