A vehicle stolen in an armed carjacking in Maryland last week crashed into a tree, burst into flames, and killed all four teenagers inside, police said.
What's more, two of the teens were cousins, and an aunt told WUSA-TV they were picked up and likely didn't know the vehicle was stolen — or they never would've entered it.
According to Prince George's County Police, officers on Friday night saw a Kia Sorento with expired temporary tags and tried to get the driver to pull over, the station said, adding that the Kia's driver sped off.
Officials told WUSA that officers stopped trying to pursue the Kia after losing sight of it. The station said police soon learned the Kia's tags didn't match the vehicle.
Minutes later, witnesses said the driver of the Kia tried to pass another motorist on the shoulder in the 12800 block of Woodmore Road in Mitchellville, the station said, citing police, adding that the Kia driver lost control of the car and crashed into a tree, after which the vehicle burst into flames.
Neighbors noted what they believed was the sound of an explosion, WUSA said, adding that other motorists tried rescuing the four teens.
The station said the crash occurred between two and three miles from the location of the attempted traffic stop — and officials soon learned that the Kia was taken in an armed carjacking earlier in Greenbelt.
Greenbelt is just over eight miles northwest of Mitchellville.
Relatives told WUSA that all four killed were teenagers and that three of them were students at Charles Herbert Flowers High School. The school is in Springdale — just a six-minute drive from the crash site.
Family members noted to the station that Serenity Sellman, 15, was the only girl in the vehicle.

They’ll never do that again.
This thread does have some rather heartless comments. Young lives being cut short is not amusing. Sad that these are the times we live in now...
“The lack of empathy here on FR is disturbing.”
We’re out of empathy. Mocking is more useful.
“Lord Jeebus, my babiez wuz good chilren.”
Four fewer white jobs stolen.
Young lives being cut short may not be amusing, but in this case I wouldn’t consider it tragic. It’s a great blessing that these mutants didn’t kill anyone else in the process of stealing a car and fleeing from police at excessive speeds.
Last to admit, not know.
It’s basic “cause and effect” logic. The criminal stupidity of some causes ridicule by others, and “Teens” of any color are not exempt.
Years ago, a drunk driver crashed into a tree in my front yard. The crash left a deep gash in the tree so it was likely to die. I filed a claim with Allstate and got $3000 for damage to the tree.
I have had all I can take. You still have some taking to do?

Works for me 4 dead idiots... and no I don’t but the aunts BS story.
Prayers to the families. The teens should not be running away from the police and passing on the shoulder. I’m trying to find out when it happened. At night, or early morning...
I have not even begun to post. You simply have NO idea with what I have had to put up with for so MANY years. You obviously have no idea. Then, try to imagine what hundreds of others who read here have had to put up with. Really, try. It is OBVIOUS that you have not suffered at the hands of certain people.
These young thugs would have gone on to far greater crimes, including rape and murder.
Four criminal careers cut short. Victims' lives saved.
Not to mention all the financial drain on taxpayers, the bogus lawsuits alleging "racism," the birthing of future thugs.
That's what was cut short.
“The lack of empathy here on FR is disturbing.”
I know this comment is satirical but it is profound in the sense that it describes the current mood about black crime. Liberals excuse the criminal behavior of blacks by blaming the racist justice system to end mass incarceration. We all know that blacks are taking advantage of the soft on crime policies that prevents them from being punished with incarceration. Not long ago people drew significant sentences for stealing a car. Tragedies like this are due to the permissiveness.
2 friends show up in a car you’ve never seen before, that you know they can’t afford and you have know clue it was stolen? Sorry Aunt Bee but this ain’t Mayberry.
Remember Casino, when they whack Joe Pesci's character? Robert De Niro's voiceover rattles off all the disrespect and mayhem caused by Pesci. As the mob murders Pesci, De Niro asks, "How much more were they supposed to take?"
That's how many conservatives feel about blacks. Not that we're gonna harm them. But if they harm each other and themselves, yes, we're all out of empathy. We're tired of trying to save them from themselves. It's hard enough to save ourselves from them.
See my post 37.
No not know. Its 4:30 and I’m on my first cup of coffee.
Yeah. Sure......
