A devastating car crash early this morning has left four people dead and one critically injured after a speeding vehicle lost control and flipped over on a busy city street.

According to police, the car was carrying five people when it veered off the road and slammed into a utility pole before overturning. The scene was described by witnesses as “horrific,” with everything unfolding in just seconds.

Emergency responders arrived quickly, but tragically, four passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. The lone survivor was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

Heartbroken family and friends have gathered at the crash site, placing flowers and candles to honor the lives lost. One grieving relative said, “They were good kids, full of life. I just spoke to them last night. I can’t believe they’re gone.”

Police have launched a full investigation, reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses. It’s still unclear if drugs or alcohol played a role, but toxicology tests are underway.

The crash has sparked renewed concern about reckless driving in the area. Local residents are calling for more speed cameras and safety measures along the dangerous stretch of road.

“This is a heartbreaking tragedy,” the mayor said in a statement. “We’ll do everything we can to make sure it never happens again.”

A memorial service is being planned as the community rallies to support the victims’ families.
