The Hyundai spun out of control and entered the median, struck into a concrete light pole, and began rolling. The car then entered the westbound lanes of Camino Real and landed upside down on a 2014 Mercedes C250 that was moving west on Camino Real.

All six passengers in the back seat of the Hyundai were ejected from the vehicle on impact.

The driver of the Hyundai, 18-year-old Ramiro Gomez, and two 13-year-olds, Brielle Snowden and Sebastian Rivas, were declared dead at the scene.

The 58-year-old driver of the Mercedes and his 55-year-old passenger were admitted to Delray Medical Center, where they succumbed to their injuries. Their identities are yet to be revealed.

Mourners gathered at the site of the car crash on Sunday afternoon and evening.
