WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Two Babson College students were killed in an overnight crash in Wellesley after their car went off the road and burst into flames.
NewsCenter 5's Shiba Russell reported that the incident happened at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday on Forest Street, less than one mile from the Babson campus.
The victims were identified as driver Ishfaq Moinuddin, 20, of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and passenger Angad Sawhney, 19, of Mahwah, N.J.
Wellesley police said that the driver of a Porsche was speeding down the road when he lost control and slammed into a tree.
"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."
"Oh yeah, there was a big fire," resident Les Goldstein said.
Another car with Babson students was traveling with the Porsche. The speed limit in the residential neighborhood is 30 mph.
Both victims were sophomores at the school. Many students rushed to the scene to see what happened and others gathered at the campus chapel.
"It's a difficult time for everybody on campus. The students were well-known to many people. It's a small campus. Two students is a big loss," Babson College Undergraduate Dean Dennis Hanno said.
Babson canceled morning classes on Wednesday, and a campus-wide gathering was scheduled for 1 p.m. in the Glavin Family Chapel.
