Two teenagers were killed, and another was injured, when a BMW crashed into a parked truck on Long Island Thursday morning.

The horrific crash unfolded around 1 a.m. in West Hempstead.

Police believe speed was likely a factor as an 18-year-old young woman drove the BMW north onto Westminster Road and then slammed into a parked nursery truck with a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old riding with her. The crash apparently caused the driver to loose control, prompting the vehicle to spin, turn over, and subsequently eject the two passengers, who were pronounced dead at the scene.

“[The crash caused] the vehicle to spin, turn over several times, ejecting two passengers. These passengers were pronounced deceased at the scene,” Stephen Fitzpatrick, of the Nassau County Homicide Squad, said.

The 18-year-old driver is in the hospital right now and is expected to recover.

Images from the scene show debris scattered around the road. The mangled and unrecognizable remains of a car was seen being cleared by police as authorities continue to investigate.
