On September September 6, at around 6.30 am local time, a car crashed into an empty house at the 1000 block of Groby. Authorities believe that due to the high speed of the car, the driver failed to negotiate the sharp curve in the road and lost control of the vehicle.

"We are here to support our families, we are here to support the friends of those that have lost their lives, and we are doing whatever we can to provide support."

The community and the school are mourning the loss of the boys

It has been revealed that one of the three teenagers was driving the vehicle when it crashed. The car reportedly belonged to his mother. While the driver had a seatbelt on, the others did not wear it. The entire community has been impacted by the tragedy.

University City Police have asked the Missouri Highway Patrol to look into the crash. It has been brought to notice that University City Police tried to pull over a vehicle some time before the crash, and they didn't know if the same car crashed. Patrol Cpl. Dallas Thompson said:

"They just wanted to make sure there were no improprieties if, in fact, it did turn out to be the same vehicle."

Jenn Bugg, whose son was friends with the boys, was present at the crash site on Wednesday. Bugg said:

"Teenagers make teenager decisions. Unfortunately, they weren’t given the opportunity to learn."

Authorities are investigating the crash, and currently have refused to reveal additional information.
