CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Three teens are dead and three other people are injured after a four-vehicle accident on Gratiot Avenue, between 24 mile and 25 mile roads.
The accident involved a pickup truck with four teens inside, a red sedan, a dark colored sedan and a school bus with no children inside.
Police tell Local 4 there were three different cars racing down Gratiot, moving fast and occupants throwing bottles at each other.
Police said the driver of the red car cut off the pickup truck because he was angry over the way the teens were driving.
The pickup truck went after him, crossed the center line and plowed into the school bus.
All four teens in the pickup truck were from Chesterfield Township and were high school students at L’Anse Creuse High School in Macomb.
Two of them, Robert McGuire, 17, and Jordan Vandeputte, 17, died at the scene.
Two others were rushed to the hospital, where Nicholas Noble, 17, later died.
Only one teen in the pickup survived -- the driver, James Lacoursiere, 17.
Just hours after the crash Tuesday, hundreds of classmates and friends gathered at L’Anse Creuse High School to pay their respects and hold a candlelight vigil.
"I just feel horrible. I don’t really know what to say. I just feel horrible. He didn’t even get to graduate from high school yet," said student Shelby Cooper, remembering classmate Vandeputte.
Word started spreading at the high school by late afternoon.
The parking lot filled with teens consoling each other with hugs and tears.
Eric Vanlerberghe called Noble one of his best friends.
"I thought it was a joke. And then I talked to my friends and then another friend who told me it was for sure. I didn’t know what to do," Vanlerberghe said.
"It’s real quiet. Everybody’s really depressed. It’s a sad moment," said senior Justin Johnson.
Grief counselors will be on hand for students and faculty at the high school.
School officials sent out the following release:
L’Anse Creuse Public Schools would like to express our heartfelt condolences for the families and friends of those impacted by yesterday’s tragic events. L’Anse Creuse is close-knit community and yesterday’s accident has impacted three of our high schools and neighboring district, Richmond Community Schools.
