Five teenagers die after a car goes over a cliff in Grand Junction, Colorado, late Saturday, authorities said. The incident occurs in a residential area, according to the Mesa County Coroner’s Office.
Reports across outlets identify the victims as 17-year-old boys. Some accounts state that two teens are ejected from the vehicle, and at least one outlet says the teens were not wearing seat belts. Emergency services respond after the crash, and investigators and the coroner’s office work to determine the circumstances.
Outlets largely agree on the basic facts: the location, the time frame (late Saturday night), the number and ages of the victims, and that the vehicle veers off the road and plunges over a steep drop. Differences appear mainly in details about seat belts and ejection, which are not consistently described in every report.
