Friends and family were in disbelief Tuesday night that this happened, telling NBC10 Boston that the brothers are both football stars.
"They both had the greatest sense of humor, they were great kids," their longtime coach Rahshaun Burkes said. "Besides being great athletes, they were just great people and I love them, and I am always going to love them."
"The entire city of Brockton is heart broken," he added
The sound of the crash alerted neighbors, who immediately called 911.
"I didn't know what the hell happened, it was a big boom," one woman said. "Horrendous, it is horrendous."
