Two New Jersey brothers died in Philadelphia crash

Two brothers, aged 18 and 22, were killed in a car crash on an I-95 overpass in Philadelphia. The accident involved a 2006 Mazda that was carrying the brothers and their two friends when the driver lost control. The vehicle struck the guardrail, overturned multiple times, and fell 20 to 30 feet onto Castor Avenue. The two brothers in the backseat were not wearing seatbelts and were thrown from the car. One brother died at the scene, while the other was pronounced dead shortly after at a hospital. The crash occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Friday. The driver and the front passenger, who are 18 and 23 years old, sustained critical but non-life-threatening injuries. A puppy in the vehicle was also ejected during the crash and died. Police suggest that street racing could have played a role in the accident, as witnesses reported the Mazda and a blue Dodge Challenger were racing prior to losing control.
