Community gathers to honor two teens who died in Pueblo crash Saturday

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Friends and family of the two teens who were killed in a car crash early Saturday morning gathered at the crash site Sunday night to honor their legacies.

The Pueblo County Coroner confirmed the identities of the teens Sunday as Brianna Gallegos, 15, and Michael Gerling, 17.

Pueblo Police released limited information about the crash Saturday, reporting that it happened at the 4th Street Bridge near Midtown when a car traveling eastbound lost control and hit another vehicle. Police also released that alcohol and speed are both being investigated as factors in the crash. No one has been arrested.

A family member of a couple involved in the crash told KRDO Sunday that the two are both in the hospital, but are expected to survive.

Despite reporting that others were injured in the crash, Pueblo Police did not clarify how many people were injured. Police said they plan to release more information about the incident Monday.
