The California Highway Patrol reported that the incident took place on Eureka Road in Granite Bay at 3:14 a.m. The vehicle, a BMW, lost control, veered off the road, and collided with a tree, resulting in the car splitting in half. The individuals who tragically lost their lives were identified by the Placer County Sheriff's Office as Kai Gini, 19, and Kevin Garcia, 18.
