Phoenix, AZ : Two people killed in north Phoenix ATV crash early Saturday morning, April 30, 2016

Phoenix police have released the names of two men killed in an ATV crash in north Phoenix.

Hunter Zachery Votaw, 21, and Christopher Robert Eugene Erickson, 21, were discovered by a passerby in the area of North 52nd Street and East Jomax Road early Saturday morning, according to a Phoenix police statement.

Detectives determined Votaw was driving with Erickson as his passenger, police spokesman Officer James Holmes said.

The ATV was heading east on Jomax Road and approaching where the road makes a sharp left and turns into 52nd Street. Holmes said Votaw "either failed to perceive the turn in time or was traveling too fast to successfully complete the turn."

The ATV went off the shoulder, causing it to tip and eject both Votaw and Erickson, Holmes said. The pair was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is still ongoing, according to Holmes.
