The Yellowstone County Coroner's Office on Monday released the names of the three teens who died in a crash on Friday evening.

The teens were identified as Thomas Christopher Lindsay, 17 years old; Conner Hunter Devere, 16; and Kylie Rae Larsen, 18.

The crash happened Friday evening near the intersection of 64th Street West and Danford Road when a Chevrolet Equinox with four occupants went off the road, rolled, and struck a fence.

Two passengers, a 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old woman, both from Billings, died at the scene. The driver, a 17-year-old boy from Billings, was taken to Billings Clinic for injuries. He passed away on Saturday, according to the Montana Highway Patrol.

Another teen in the car, a 17-year-old boy from Billings, was also taken to Billings Clinic with injuries. The nature and extent of his injuries has not been disclosed.

The Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office offered their condolences and said the teens killed in the crash attended Billings West High School:

The Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office would like to send our thoughts and prayers to all those effected this past weekend by the fatal motor vehicle crash involving three West High students.
There are a bunch of Golden Bears here at the Sheriff’s Office, but when an event like this happens, whether you are a Falcon, Bronc, Ram, Locomotive, Mustang, or a Red Devil, it hurts. To the sole survivor, we wish you a speedy recovery.
Words cannot express the sorrow we are all dealing with at this time. Search out friends and lean on each other during these tough times. Life is a gift, and you must seize the day, every day until your heart no longer beats.

According to the Montana Highway patrol, speed and road conditions are considered factors in the crash. Road conditions were drifted with snow when the crash occurred.
