Two Castle Rock teens, both 17 years old, were killed in a crash caused by a suspected drunk driver late Friday night. Two other 17-year-old victims were hospitalized for moderate to serious injuries.

The victims were identified as Colton Bellamy and Audrey Todd and were Castle View High School students. The school said they’ll have a crisis team on site Monday and Tuesday to talk to students.
