MARINE PARK, Brooklyn -- Two teenagers and an 11-year-old were killed in a multi-car crash at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.

The two-car wreck was reported Saturday night after 9 p.m.

Police believe the two vehicles may have been racing, which they say is common at Floyd Bennett Field.

A Toyota Camry traveling westbound lost control and ended up colliding into a Kia that was traveling southbound, authorities say.

The 16-year-old driver of the Camry and his two passengers, a 16-year-old female and an 18-year-old male, were all taken to Kings County Hospital with minor injuries.

The 16-year-old driver of the Kia, an 18-year-old female passenger and an 11-year-old male passenger were all pronounced dead.

A 17-year-old male passenger in the Kia was taken to NYU Langone in critical condition.

The victims were later identified as 16-year-old Emil Badalov, 18-year-old Margarita Sidgiyayeva and 11-year-old Daniel Sidgiyayeva.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
