June 19, 2011 (CHICAGO)

The crash happened early Saturday in northwest suburban Prospect Heights.

The Cook County Medical Examiner says all three teens died of multiple injuries caused when the car struck a fixed object. The medical examiner has identified one of the victims as 16-year old Freddy Najera of Mount Prospect. Names of the other two have not been released. A fourth teen survived the crash.

Toxicology tests will be done to determine if drugs or alcohol were involved. Police say the car was going at a high rate of speed when it crashed.
