Channel 4 Action News' Amber Nicotra reported the crash was so violent it mangled both vehicles, twisting the metal.

The roof of the red Neon that carried the three men was ripped off and the hood was crushed as a result of the impact when the vehicle broadsided the pickup truck.

Three men riding in a red Dodge Neon were killed when the vehicle slammed into a pickup truck. A passenger in the truck also died in the crash.

The driver of the pickup was the crash's only survivor, Daniel Demarco. Demarco's wfie, Jessica, was killed as she sat in the passenger seat.

Police believe speed may have played a role in the crash, but they have not yet released an official ruling.

On Tuesday morning officers spend hours examining every piece of broken glass and metal. Next, investigators will revisit the crash site where people continue to stop by, to remember the victims.

The driver of the pickup, Daniel Demarco, was the crash's only survivor. Demarco's wfie, Jessica, was killed as she sat in the passenger seat.

Family and friends have stopped at the site of crash, leaving flowers, balloons and messages to remember the four people killed.

Officers are also investigating whether alcohol played a role in the crash. Results of the investigation and toxicology tests may not be known for weeks.
