Five teenage boys were killed after the vehicle they were riding in drove off a roadway and plunged down a steep hillside in a Colorado neighborhood over the weekend, authorities said.
The crash occurred late Aug. 8 in a residential area of Grand Junction, a city located in Colorado's Western Slope region, according to the Mesa County Coroner's Office. Local police said first responders were dispatched at about 7:45 a.m. local time on Aug. 9 after receiving a report of a vehicle that had gone over the edge of a cliff in the neighborhood.
When emergency crews arrived, they found a crashed vehicle on the hillside below the roadway and five occupants dead at the scene, the Grand Junction Police Department said in a news release.
Investigators believe the vehicle was traveling south "when it veered off the roadway and down the steep incline of the hillside," according to police. Speed is being examined as a possible factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
