Four youths aged 17 to 19 have died in a serious accident in Nurmijärvi, about four miles north of Helsinki, in Finland, reports Yle.

The car they were traveling in was found in a stream on Saturday night.

The rescue services and police were on the scene very quickly, within a few minutes, and four youths were taken out of the car and later pronounced dead at the hospital, says Leif Malmberg, lead investigator at the police.

At the accident site, there is a small bridge and it was slippery at the location. According to the police, it is still unclear how the car ended up in the water, but preliminary information suggests that the car somehow ended up on the bridge railing and then fell into the stream.

Hufvudstadsbladet reports that all those involved were from Nurmijärvi.
