Two teenage lives were cut short Saturday, and their friends left behind are now leaving behind their respects.
The scene Saturday on Avery Ranch Boulevard was also a somber one.
"I just wanted to leave some flowers for him and I wrote him a note," Victoria Albee, a friend of one of the victims, said.
Police are now holding a 15-year-old boy responsible for fleeing the scene of the accident that killed two of his passengers and left one in critical condition.
They said the driver was speeding when he crashed into a wall.
The speed limit is 45 mph, but every neighbor News 8 spoke to said there are virtually no limits to how fast people will drive in the area.
"You can hear cars going fast especially down towards the bridge," neighbor Nancy Krueger said.

Neighbor Chris Mire agreed and said, "There's limited sight distance for people going much faster than 45; we can't even take the kids to the park, we have to drive."
Some neighbors said they've been asking the city for help to police their speeding problem since 2006. But others said they like the community the way it is.
"I don't want more stop signs or stop lights -- I think people should police themselves," Krueger said.
But for now, the traffic on Avery Ranch Boulevard is moving a bit slower and a visible hole in the community remains open, slowly filling with sentiment.
"I just said that I'm going to miss him and that it was hard," Albee said.
It's hard for friends and for a community who will have to rebuild after tragedy.
