Yarey Ibanez-Aguilar and Carlos Vargas-Dopson, both 17 and from Tacoma, were in the backseat of a vehicle driven by a 15-year-old girl.
They were traveling in the 2600 block of 31st Avenue SW about 3:30 a.m. Friday when the car went airborne near the intersection with South Fruitland.
When the vehicle landed, it hit a ditch and the impact caused the car to roll.
