Two teenage boys were struck and killed early Tuesday morning by a pickup in east Vancouver, according to police.

The crash occurred shortly before 6:30 a.m. near the intersection of Northeast 23rd Circle and 112th Avenue, east of Interstate 205.

The victims were a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. Both died at the scene. Their identities were not released Tuesday, pending notification of next of kin, according to a Vancouver Police Department news release.

They were struck by a full-sized Chevrolet pickup after stepping off the curb and into the road. Both boys were wearing dark-colored clothing, police said.

Northeast 112th Avenue is a five-lane arterial with partial sidewalks; there are no sidewalks on the east side of the road in that area. There are streetlights but no traffic signal or crosswalk at that intersection.
