Chief Chris Brock from the Otway Fire Department says the fire department was dispatched to crash at 8:10 p.m. Saturday night. When crews arrived on scene they saw a 4-door Honda with four teens inside and a 4-door Ford Explorer which was towing a boat behind it in an offset head-on collision.
Chief Brock says the Honda appears to have been coming off of Straits Road, trying to enter Harker's Island Road and the Ford Explorer was coming westbound up Harker's Island Road when the crash occurred. He says the force of the crash separated the Explorer and the boat and the Honda went into a ditch.
He says the two males in the front seat of the Honda were dead on arrival, but the two females in the back of the Honda were alert. In the Explorer, he says one female with non-life threatening injuries was taken to PCMH. He says everyone was wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
Wreck responders told NewsChannel12 they got a call around 9PM on Saturday to the intersection of Harker's Island Road and Straits Road.
Responders said they heard two teenage fatalities called out on the radio, possibly a third. Wreckers said one vehicle, towing a boat, collided with another vehicle. Both vehicles were destroyed.
Troopers said three teens were airlifted to Wilmington.
Highway Patrol was not available to verify names or ages at the time of publication.
