ST. LOUIS — Two teenagers are dead and four others are injured following a wreck in unincorporated north St. Louis County, near the town of Black Jack.

The boy driving the car and a 15-year-old passenger were killed.

The 15-year-old, along with four other passengers ranging in age from 14 to 16, were ejected. No one in the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt.

No names have been released yet.
