Two 16-year-old boys have been killed and three people injured in a high-speed crash involving two cars north of Christchurch this morning. Police confirmed the two teens had died in the crash, while a third 16-year-old had been injured. "One of the vehicles involved in the crash has crossed the centre line." Three fire trucks were also at the scene of the crash on Glasnevin Rd. The crash brings New Zealand's road toll for March to 21, after a person was killed in a crash in Reporoa near Taupō last night.
