The Gwinnett County Police Department said the teens — identified as Ashley Gaitan, 16, Katie Gaitan, 17, Coral Lorenzo, 17, all of Atlanta, Hung Nguyen, 18, of Lawrenceville, and Abner Santana, 19, of Suwanee — were all in the same car on Monday when they were involved in the deadly three-car collision on Interstate 85.
