Three teenage boys have died after a two-vehicle crash Monday night on North Federal Highway in Pompano Beach, forcing the roadway to shut down as investigators worked the scene, authorities said.

Around 7 p.m., Broward Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the crash in the 1600 block of North Federal Highway. Officials said the vehicle carrying three teenage boys, ages 15, 16 and 18, hit a concrete light pole and bus stop after colliding with another vehicle around 7 p.m., leaving their car mangled with airbags deployed. All three were rushed to Broward Health North, where they later died.

The person in the other vehicle was not injured.

BSO's Traffic Homicide Unit is now working to determine what led up to the crash, reviewing evidence, video and witness statements. 

"Any loss of life in a situation like this is a tragedy," said BSO spokesperson Carey Codd. "When you have three young people who died, it is absolutely heartbreaking and gut-wrenching."

The roadway remains closed and the investigation is ongoing.
