The driver, a 36-year-old man, and his passenger, a 23-year-old man, both of Providence, Rhode Island, were transported to Charlton Hospital where they were pronounced dead. Another 23-year-old passenger was transported to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment.
The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of next of kin.
The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation by state police.
