Two 18-year-olds are dead, and a 17-year-old was injured in a crash on I-77 early Sunday morning, according to Cleveland Police.

Around 1:17 a.m., officers responded to the area of I-77 North and I-90 East for a single-vehicle crash where three passengers were ejected, police said.

The initial investigation revealed the vehicle was traveling northbound on I-77 at a high rate of speed while passing vehicles on the right, police said. As the vehicle approached the curve leading to I-90 East, it veered off the left side of the roadway and into a grass median before rolling several times down an embankment, ejecting the occupants.

An 18-year-old man was pronounced dead on the scene, and a second one was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. A 17-year-old boy was also transported to the hospital, where he remains while being treated for his injuries.
