4 Fontana Teens Killed in Fiery Car Crash

Four Fontana teenagers were killed in a fiery crash over the weekend.

The 18-year-old driver lost control of his Chrysler Sebring at high speed early Sunday and the vehicle burst into flames when it slammed into a concrete bridge, Fontana police said.

"The victims were badly burned, which compounded the identification process," Fontana police Chief Rodney Jones told the San Bernardino County Sun.

No other vehicles were involved in the 1:08 a.m. crash on Foothill Boulevard.

The victims were identified by the Sun as Javier T. Contreras, 18; Rebecca Garcia, 16; Pedro Rivera, 18; and Raquel Garcia, 18.

Contreras was reportedly driving at the time, the newspaper reported.

Mourners created a makeshift memorial with candles, flowers and stuffed animals near the scene of the crash.
