ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Highway Patrol says two brothers were killed and two other passengers were injured after a 19-year-old driver lost control and their car overturned.

A highway patrol statement says 14-year-old Gabriel Hoover died Sunday, three days after the crash. His 16-year-old brother Seth Hoover died on Thursday.

Spokeswoman Kim Montes says Amen Allah's car struck a curb, then hit a pole and overturned. She says alcohol is not a factor, but the agency is looking at speed and the actions of the driver.

Allah's two younger brothers — ages 15 and 17 — were injured. None of those hurt were wearing seatbelts.
