At 3:15 am. four West High students died when their car lost control at a high rate of speed and failed to maneuver an "S" curve where
Tokay Boulevard turns into Glen Drive. The car skidded 324 feet, flipped over and slid another 118 feet on it's roof before stopping.
The gas cap had come off the car, and with it upside down the gas spilled out and ignited, burning the four inside.
It was a ritual amongst West students to see how fast a car could take the curve.
