Two people died and four others were hospitalized Saturday night after a single-car accident on Domenigoni Parkway in Hemet, police said.

Multiple passengers were ejected from the vehicle and were airlifted to a local hospital, where two died from their injuries. Three others remained hospitalized Saturday night.

Hemet Police Traffic Investigators were called in to take over the investigation. Preliminary investigation revealed that the SUV had been occupied by five young adults and one juvenile. The vehicle was travelling westbound on Domenigoni Parkway from State Street and is believed to have been traveling in excess of 65 miles per hour.
