After witnessing the Camaro flee at a high rate of speed, the officer deactivated his emergency equipment and decided not to pursue the Camaro, police said.
Authorities reported that the Camaro crashed a short time later and traveled through a stop sign at Powell Avenue and Sidco Drive.
Police said the Camaro then left the roadway and struck a railroad track berm, which caused it to go airborne.
The Camaro then traveled through a chain link fence and landed in a parking lot on railroad property, where it became wedged between two semi-trailers.
Metro police said all three teens were pronounced dead at the scene. There were no evidence of drug or alcohol involvement.
No other information was immediately released.
