GARY, Ind. (AP) — Three males have died after they fled a police stop and their car crashed into a semitrailer.

Two of the males were pronounced dead at the scene. The Lake County Coroner’s Office identified them as 18-year-old Ramzy Clark of Gary and 19-year-old Elijah Faulkner of Hobart.
The third male was transported to a hospital where he died of his injuries. He wasn’t immediately identified.
