Plano police confirm two 16-year-old girls died and another was injured when the Porsche they were traveling in crashed into a tree late Friday night.
Family and friends identified the victims as Samantha Sacks and Lilly Davis. Sydney Sacks, the older sister of Samantha, gave NBC DFW a picture of her sister and Davis standing side by side.
Friends confirmed Kendall Murray was injured in the collision. She remains hospitalized at Medical City Plano and was listed in critical condition Saturday evening.
"All three of the girls in the accident were best friends. They played volleyball together so they’re really good friends," Sydney said.
The crash happened Friday around 11:30 p.m. in the 1600 block of Mira Vista Road.
Officers said the 2016 Porsche Macan was speeding southbound when the driver struck a tree in the road's median.
Police said Sacks and Davis died at the scene.
Sydney Sacks said she and her sister did everything together.
"She had such a bright future ahead of her. She wanted to be a doctor. She wanted to go to Harvard," Sydney said.
"She was always bold and honest and always a light, always laughing," friend Kyra Cooper said about Davis.
Police said they found Murray with serious injuries near the burning vehicle. Plano Fire-Rescue took her to the hospital.
