Yahoo Autos ‘Speed, Possibly Alcohol, And No Seat Belts’: Four Teenagers Killed In Single-Vehicle Crash In Montana
Four teenagers were killed in a single-vehicle crash after hitting a metal pole in a fairly empty industrial area in Billings, Montana. Billings Police say the possible use of alcohol, speed and no seatbelts contributed to the accident at 2 a.m. on December 16.
The Mercury Mountaineer apparently went off the roadway, which caused the driver to lose control and crash into a large metal pole supporting a sign for a business, the Billings Police Department said in a statement. Two of the teens died at the scene of the crash. Two others suffered critical injuries and were taken to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead.

Pitman said the girls died at the scene and other two were taken to the hospital, where Pitman, 17, was being treated following his crash.
”They were all great,” Pitman said of the victims.
