Their identities have not yet been released, but fire officials said the two occupants were 25- and 26-year-old men.

The crash is under investigation, but it appears that the vehicle was traveling when it struck a cement light pole and rolled. Officials have not said if speed or drugs and alcohol were factors in the crash.
