Two drivers were killed in a fiery head-on crash related to street racing early Tuesday in Santa Clarita.

The driver of a street-racing BMW may have burned to death as he was trapped inside his car that burst into flames.

The crash was reported at 12:26 a.m. near the intersection of Decoro Drive and McBean Parkway, said Lt. Chuck Becerra of the Sheriff’s Santa Clarita Valley Station.

One of the drivers, believed to be traveling in a BMW, was racing and clipped a car, causing him to lose control and veer into oncoming traffic, Becerra said.

The driver of the BMW slammed into a Honda. The impact of the crash caused the driver of the Honda to be ejected and the BMW to catch fire with the driver inside, Becerra said.

Both drivers died at the scene.

Their names will be released after notification of next of kin, according to the coroner’s office.

The driver of the Honda was believed to have just graduated from high school, according to Becerra.
