Two teenagers killed in New Bedford, Massachusetts crash

Two teenagers died early Saturday morning during an early-morning crash in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

It happened just before 2 a.m. on Route 140 South in New Bedford. A 911 call alerted police to the deadly crash.

Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn said responding officers found a 2019 Honda Civic was involved in the violent crash. The Civic had significant damage to the passenger side and had come to a stop in the wooded area on the right of the road.

Two people had been ejected from the car during the crash.

A 17-year-old boy from West Yarmouth was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified as Gabriel Siqueira.

 A 15-year-old girl was also found with life-threatening injuries. She was rushed to an area hospital but pronounced dead a short time later. The district attorney later identified her as Anne Urbanski Santos De Carvalho of Dartmouth.

An 18-year-old Dartmouth boy was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The district attorney did not release any additional details about the driver's injuries.

Massachusetts State Police and the Bristol District Attorney's office are investigating the crash. It is not clear what caused the crash or if the driver could face any charges. There were no other cars involved in the crash, the district attorney's office said.

No additional details are currently available.

School releases statement

Dennis-Yarmouth Superintendent Marc Smith said that Siqueira was a varsity soccer player and a senior at the school. 

"Gabriel was known for his energy, passion, and the inspiration he brought to everyone around him. He will be deeply missed by his teammates, coaches, friends, and the entire D-Y community," he said in a statement.

The Dennis-Yarmouth High School will provide support for students and staff during the week. 

"On behalf of the entire D-Y community, we offer our deepest condolences to Gabriel's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time."
