Two teenagers were killed and three more injured when they crashed an SUV they had stolen, Minnesota police said, according to media reports.

Officers in Minneapolis were dispatched around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 8, after receiving reports that a Mercedes SUV had been carjacked, according to WCCO. The vehicle was later spotted in the neighboring town of Robbinsdale, police told WCCO.

Robbinsdale officers began a high-speed chase with the suspects, who drove back into Minneapolis, KARE reported. The driver eventually lost control of the SUV, and as it crashed, it split in half, according to KARE.

Pictures shared by reporters on Twitter show the resting vehicle, with half of it torn off after the crash.

Officials say one of the teenagers died at the scene, and another died at the hospital, according to WMSP. Three more teens inside the car were also hospitalized and were “seriously injured,” WMSP reported.

The ages and identities of the victims have not been publicly disclosed, but officers said they were all under 18 years old.

Police said the excessive speed likely led to the crash, WCCO reported.

“Carjackings have been on the rise,” Capt. John Kaczmarek with the Robbinsdale Police Department told KTSP. “I think everyone knows that we try to stop people. This one happened in Minneapolis. It’s an unfortunate incident.”
