Three Las Vegas teens were killed and one was injured in a car crash early this morning in Southern California, according to police.

The teens were stopped at a traffic light shortly after 1 a.m. on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach when they were rear-ended by an alleged impaired driver, according to Angela Bennett, a Huntington Beach Police Department spokesperson.

The impact sent the teens’ vehicle across the intersection, bursting into flames. The driver and two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene, while a third passenger was transported to a nearby hospital. The condition of that passenger is unknown.

Social media posts indicate the teens were students at Centennial High School.
