Man intentionally rammed car of teens, killing 3, after ding-dong-ditch prank in Temescal Valley, victim's mother says

Three teenagers killed in a crash in Temescal Valley were identified after authorities say the vehicle they were in was intentionally rammed into by another driver.

The service opened with a choir performing, followed by a prayer.

The teenagers were killed Jan. 19 after the car they were in crashed into a tree.

Authorities arrested Anurag Chandra, who is accused of intentionally ramming the vehicle the teens were in off the road after they played a ding-dong-ditch prank at the suspect's home.

Three others in the car were also injured, including two of the victims' younger brothers.

The boys' families say the teens had been best friends since elementary school, and were active in sports and in their church.

A private funeral will be held at a Corona church the boys attended.
