State Police say two teens from the same Brooklyn neighborhood were killed when the van in which they were riding rolled down an embankment along Interstate 84 in western Connecticut.

Police say 16-year-old Eli Shonbron and 15-year-old Dani King were declared dead at the scene early Monday morning.  

Nine other occupants of the van were taken to Danbury Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

State police say the van was headed east. It drove off the right side of the highway, slid down an embankment, collided into several trees and rolled over. No other details were available.

Police continue to investigate.
