PUEBLO, COLO. -- Colorado State troopers have released the names of the two teenagers who died in a crash early Monday morning.
Troopers said 18-year-old Cameron Montoya from Pueblo died in the hospital early Monday after crashing a stolen 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander after running two red lights.
Pueblo Police officers called troopers after spotting Montoya's car speeding north on Highway 45 near East Spaulding Avenue. Troopers then saw him run two red lights at the Highway 50 intersection when they tried to pull him over. He kept driving north onto Wildhorse Road but rolled the car while trying to curve left.
Four girls were in the car with him at the time. One of them, 16-year-old Chantel Ortiz from Pueblo, also died. Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old were taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Troopers later discovered the car had been stolen from Colorado Springs. They also found a gun inside.
