Shelby Township ,MI : Three Young men Killed in Traffic Crash at Stoney Creek Metro park on Friday evening ,May 8th 2015

Macomb County police have identified the three young men who were killed in a traffic crash at Stoney Creek Metropark Friday evening.

Police say Jonathan Manolios and Emanuel Malaj from Stevenson High School and Michael Wells from Henry Ford II High School were killed in the crash. All three were 17 years old.

According to witnesses, the car -- authorities said it was a black 2008 Jaguar -- was going about 80 mph when the crash happened at around 6:15 p.m. Speed limits on park roads are between 25-35 mph. The driver reportedly lost control and the car hit a guardrail.

Five people were inside the vehicle, and four were ejected during the crash. The front seat passenger was the only person that wasn't ejected.

Two 17-year-old men were taken to a nearby hospital with injuries. They are listed in critical condition.

"This is a terrible tragedy, and our heartfelt sympathies are offered to the families of the young men," said Sheriff Anthony Wickersham.

Wickersham said earlier reports that the car hit a bicycle likely leaked because witnesses mistook car parts for pieces of a bike.

Residents have already visited the site where the three 17-year-old were killed, leaving flowers against the fence.
