Four Fontana Teens Killed in Fiery Car Crash

Out-of-control vehicle crashes into concrete bridge

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

An 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.

All four students attended A.B. Miller High School in Fontana.

"I've been with the Fontana Police Department for 30 years and I don't recall an accident where we had four students die at the same time," Fontana Police Chief Rodney Jones told NBC4 News.

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

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

Contreras was reportedly driving at the time.
