OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -Two people are dead and two others are critically injured after a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.

The crash occurred around 3:15 a.m. after a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed left the roadway, striking a tree before hitting a retaining wall, The Omaha World-Herald reported.

Five people were onboard, said Sgt. Neal Bonacci. At least four of them were ejected from the vehicle.

Two died at the scene, and two others were transported to the Nebraska Medical Center in critical condition, Bonacci said.

Most of the occupants were not wearing seat belts, said officer Michael Pecha.
