BOSTON -- Two Babson College students were killed late Tuesday when their car went off the road and burst into flames near the college in Wellesley.
The accident happened around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday on Forest Street, less than one mile from the Babson campus.
NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that a group of students were traveling down Forest Street in two different cars. Neighbors said the vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed. The driver of one car, a Porsche, lost control and smashed into a tree. They were unable to escape.
The victims were identified as driver Ishfaq Moinuddin, 20, of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and passenger Angad Sawhney, 19, of Mahwah, N.J.
"When the officers arrived, the car was fully involved in flames," Wellesley Police Sgt. Marie Cleary said. "There are two fatalities. We can say that speed was probably a factor. Other than that, it will be under investigation."
The speed limit in the residential neighborhood is 30 mph.
Students told NewsCenter 5 that both victims were sophomores at the school. Many of them rushed to the scene to see what happened and others gathered at the campus chapel.
"We don't have fatal motor vehicle accidents very often," Cleary said.
Babson canceled morning classes on Wednesday, and a campus-wide gathering was scheduled for 1 p.m. in the Glavin Family Chapel.
