BALTIMORE (WJZ) â€" Two Baltimore teenagers are dead.  They were hit by a car and police say the driver left them in the street.

Adam May reports police have identified two suspects in the case and right now police are reconstructing the accident.

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Pratt Street is one of the busiest intersections near downtown. It’s now the scene of a fatal accident involving two teen girls hit by a car that didn’t stop.

“After the accident, the vehicle continued driving southbound toward 395,” said Det. Jeremy Silbert, Baltimore City Police.

Baltimore Police say the girls are Emerald Smith, 17, and Courtney Angeles, 16, from Pigtown.

Soon after â€" near the airport â€" Maryland Transportation Authority Police â€" stopped a car during an unrelated traffic stop. Officers noticed a red flag.

“Apparently there was fresh damage to the vehicle and other factors that indicated the vehicle was just involved in an accident,” said Silbert.

Police already questioned two occupants of the vehicle. They are now looking at surveillance cameras in the area, trying to determine if the vehicle or teenagers had the right away.

Regardless of who had the right away, fleeing the scene would be a crime. Police are working with the State’s Attorney’s Office to determine charges.

Police are asking any witnesses of the accident to come forward.
