Both teenagers were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Two teenagers lost their lives in a fatal accident that occurred on Thursday night in Rowan County. The incident happened after the police pursued the teens who were driving a 2004 Chevrolet pickup truck on NC 801 near Back Creek Church Road.
The driver of the vehicle lost control and overturned after traveling off-road on the right side before hitting a utility pole. Emergency personnel confirmed that both teenagers, identified as Austin Ryan Davis, 18, and Aiden Daniel Humphries, 16, from Huntersville died at the scene.
Firefighters couldn't approach the vehicle until Duke Energy crews arrived to cut off power since three main power lines had come down during the crash. It is still unclear why police were pursuing them at this time.
North Carolina Highway Patrol continues to investigate this tragic event which took place around 10:52 p.m. last Thursday night. The crash site was cleared early Friday morning at approximately 2:30 am.
Our thoughts are with their families and friends during this difficult time.
