Two teens killed, four injured in Taunton crash

TAUNTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – Two people died following a crash early Sunday morning in Taunton.

Nicholas Costa, of Taunton, was driving his two-door Honda Accord when it swerved onto the wrong side of Bay Street and slammed into a tree.

Police had to rip the roof of the car off to reach Costa and five others.

Investigators say the 24-year-old was speeding and they also found a bottle of vodka in the car.

Jason Neto, 18, and Eden Macedo were pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Friends and families gathered at a shrine in Attleboro Sunday night to light candles and remember the victims.

Three of the passengers are listed in fair condition.
