AURORA - Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in a single-car rollover crash that killed two people and injured two others in Aurora.
The Friday afternoon incident occurred near East 23rd Avenue and Chambers Road.
Witnesses told police the 4-door Chevy Impala was driving northbound on Chambers Road with excessive speeds and weaving in and out of traffic. The car then lost control, went off the roadway, went airborne and struck a tree, according to police.
One of the adult male passengers in the rear seat area was pronounced dead immediately on scene. The driver, an adult male, was transported to the hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
An adult female, front passenger, was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. An adult female, rear passenger, was taken to University Hospital with life-threatening injuries and is currently in critical condition.
Police say seatbelts do not appear to have been used by anyone in the vehicle.
The identities of the victims have not been released.
