The body of a 17-year-old was also found, and Snyder said Tuesday that two or three people are missing after the wreck.

In addition, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said two teenagers who were found alive didn’t cooperate with law enforcement.

Those teens were placed into custody, but were later released. A sheriff’s office spokesperson said the teens will likely face charges.

The Boynton Beach Police Department told WPTV the car was stolen from Mahogany Bay Drive, which correlates with an apartment complex.
