Four teenagers were seriously injured Sunday night after the vehicle they were traveling in crashed and rolled over on Old Kalanianaole Road in Waimanalo, authorities said.

Honolulu Emergency Services officials said two girls, ages 16 and 14, and two boys, both 15-years-old, were treated and taken to a hospital in serious condition after the crash just before 8:40 p.m.

Four Honolulu Fire Department units with 14 personnel responded to a 911 call at 8:38 p.m. reporting a motor vehicle crash near 42-051 Old Kalanianaole Road.

Firefighters arrived at 8:43 p.m to find a vehicle resting on its side with four occupants, HFD officials said.
