Aaron Davis, 23, of Cranbury, N.J., and Joshua Davis, 22, of East Windsor, N.J. — who were seated in the rear and not wearing seat belts — were ejected from the Mazda and killed, the state police said.
Their brothers, Benjamin and Nathaniel Davis, both of East Windsor, were taken to hospitals with serious injuries. They were both listed by the state police as 18 years old.
A puppy in the back seat also was ejected and killed in the crash, the state police said.
