SLOUGHHOUSE, Calif. \u2014 Families in Elk Grove<\/a> are mourning after a fiery crash in Sloughhouse killed two teenage girls and injured three other teens<\/a> early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The mother of 16-year-old Ariyonna Orozco confirmed her daughter was one of the victims. Loved ones gathered Sunday at a growing memorial along Scott Road, where the crash happened, remembering Orozco as vibrant and someone who loved making silly videos.<\/p>\n

California Highway Patrol officials said calls about the crash began coming in shortly after midnight Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Upon CHP arrival, officers were notified by witnesses and Sac Metro Fire personnel that the driver, a 16-year-old female, was located deceased in the vehicle, and also a 14-year-old female, right front passenger, located deceased in the vehicle,” said Angie Monroe, a CHP spokesperson.<\/p>\n

CHP said three other teens \u2014 two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old girl \u2014 were also inside the vehicle when it crashed and burst into flames.<\/p>\n

Officials said passersby pulled the teens from the burning car before emergency crews arrived. CHP says all three of their conditions range from moderate to major injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators said the families of the victims and injured teens have been notified, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

“It not just affects the family and friends right; it affects the entire community. It affects all the schools that they go to and so forth. And it affects all responding first responders, right? The passersby that stopped by,” Monroe said.<\/p>\n

Elk Grove Unified School District said four of the teens involved were current students, while one was a former student.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the district said it was \u201cdeeply saddened by this tragedy\u201d and said its thoughts were with the teens\u2019 families, friends, classmates, and everyone affected.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts go out to the families, the friends, the classmates, the schools. The neighbors and all the passersby that helped to assist. Our hearts break for all of them. And we wish good recovery for the three that are still hospitalized,” Monroe said.<\/p>\n

The names of the other victims have not been released.<\/p>\n

CHP said investigators are still gathering evidence and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the white BMW X4 four-door sedan driving on Scott Road before the crash to contact the agency at 260pop@chp.ca.gov.\u00a0<\/p>\n
