WARRINGTON, Pa. — Three teens were killed and and a fourth seriouly injured in a crash in Bucks County on Halloween night.
Warrington police said the "major collision" between a Toyota Camry and a Ford Explorer on Bristol Road near Barness Park was reported around 9:30 p.m. Four teens inside the sedan and one inside the SUV had to be extricated.
The front seat passenger in the sedan who passed away was identified as as Aziz Umidovich Amonov, an 18-year-old male from Feasterville/Trevose, PA. The driver was a 15-year-old male who died along with one of the rear passengers, a 16-year-old male. A 14-year-old male remains in critical condition at a Philadelphia hospital Saturday afternoon and was being prepared for surgery.
Two of the deceased attended Neshaminy High School; one a freshman and the other a senior. The school affiliations of the other two victims have not yet been confirmed
Police said the crash was not head-on as they initially reported.
"The most severe damage to the sedan was concentrated on the passenger side," police said in a statement. "A very preliminary investigation based on the scene evidence and witness accounts suggests that the sedan was traveling eastbound on Bristol Road, while the SUV was traveling westbound. As the sedan approached a downward crest in the narrow roadway, it appears the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to cross into the path (westbound) of the oncoming SUV."
Initial reports to 911 of a fire were unfounded, according to police.
Mangled vehicles show force of impact
Details about what led to the crash were not disclosed by police.The Warrington Police Command and the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team worked into the early hours of Saturday on their investigation. Bristol Road was reopened to traffic by dawn.
An image of the vehicles showed two severely damaged vehicles. The sedan was nearly unrecognizable because of the efforts to free the passengers.
Police asked any witnesses to the crash to call 215-343-3311 ext.220.
