Five teenagers died in a crash that occurred very early on Labor Day in the Atlanta area.<\/p>\n

At about 4:00 a.m. local time on Monday morning, 911 started receiving calls about a grisly multi-car crash on Interstate 85 in Gwinnett County, Georgia about 20 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. Callers reported multiple cars crashed, and then flew over the edge of a highway ramp that was raised high above freeway lanes below.<\/p>\n

When first responders got to the scene, they found five people dead and several more injured. Investigators quickly determined all five killed were in the same car — the one which went over the edge of the on-ramp and plunged to the cement below.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the media later on Monday about the tragedy, a Gwinnett County Police Department<\/strong> spokesperson said:<\/p>\n

“All the decedents were occupants of the same vehicle, which had gone over the wall of the raised ramp. Next-of-Kin for each of the decedents have been notified. The Gwinnett County Police Department has learned at least 3 of the deceased were students at Lakeside High School in Dekalb County.”<\/p>\n

That tragic detail about three of the five teens dead having attended Lakeside High School<\/strong> together was later confirmed by 11 Alive<\/em> and other media outlets. Per multiple reports, the five dead youths were identified as Abner Santana<\/strong>, 19, Hung Nguyen<\/strong>, 18, Coral Lorenzo<\/strong>, 17, \u00a0Katy Gaitan<\/strong>, 17, and Ashley Gaitan<\/strong>, 16.<\/p>\n

So young…<\/p>\n

When asked by\u00a0WSB-TV<\/em> about the specifics of the crash, Police Corporal Christian D\u2019Allaird<\/strong> said the car and at least one other vehicle collided on a flyover ramp high above I-85. Then, the teens’ car somehow left that lane and plunged down.<\/p>\n

Corporal D’Allaird said:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d say it was about a 50-foot drop. As to what factors went into why the vehicle went over the wall, we don\u2019t know that yet.”<\/p>\n

A 50-foot drop?!?! OMG…<\/p>\n
