Two men, ages 20 and 22, died Tuesday morning after they were ejected from their vehicle during a crash on Highway 75 in the Town of Dover.
On Wednesday morning Racine County Sheriff’s officials identified the victims as Jarrett Heck, 20, of Salem, and Zachary Faulhaber, 22, of Kansasville.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene, according to a news release issued by the Racine County Sheriff’s Office. Their names were initially withheld pending notification of relatives.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the vehicle left the highway in the 1900 block of South Beaumont Avenue, struck a culvert, went airborne then struck a tree and a utility pole. The crash occurred about 5 a.m.
While investigation into the cause of the crash continues, speed does appear to be a factor, the news release said.
Sheriff Christopher Schmaling extended condolences to the families of the victims on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office.
