Police say two men were in a Jeep when they were ejected from the vehicle. They were not wearing seatbelts, and the Jeep landed in a wooded area off the roadway, authorities said.
The Jeep was going over railroad tracks when the driver lost control, spun and struck a tree, authorities said.
JSO believes speed played a factor in the crash.
