Two Sunland Park teenagers were killed early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash, and police say alcohol, speed and failure to wear seatbelts were all factors in the crash, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported.

Police said Martin Cano, 18, was driving his 1999 Dodge Intrepid westbound on Country Club Road at a high rate of speed just before 4 a.m. Sunday when he lost control of the car and struck a cinder-block sign, the Sun-News reported.

Cano and one passenger, 16-year-old Adrian Navarro, died at the scene, while another passenger, 19-year-old Javier Coronado was taken to Thomason Hospital in El Paso with serious, but non-life-threatening, injuries, police told the Sun-News.

Navarro, who just celebrated his 16th birthday on Friday, was a junior at Desert Pride Academy in Anthony, N.M., and had planned to join the Marine Corps after graduation, Navarro's sister, Vaness Deharo, told the Sun-News.

Cano was a senior at Santa Teresa High School, the paper reported.
