Two families and many friends are in mourning after two teens were killed in a crash at Bishop Grandin Boulevard and St. Mary's Road just before 3 a.m. Sunday.

Police have charged the 17-year-old female driver of the car that hit the vehicle the victims were travelling in. Officers said the suspect had been drinking and was speeding. CTV News has learned she was also texting while driving and ran a red light at the intersection where the crash occurred.

In a release Monday morning, officers said the crash's second victim – a 19-year-old female – had succumbed to her injuries.

Her name is Senhit Mehari, her father Yohannes Mehari confirmed.

"It's horrible," he said. "It's devastating. It hurts."

He described his daughter as a "very loving, smiling girl," who was hard-working. She was a manager at McDonald's and a business student at the University of Manitoba.

A 17-year-old girl was pronounced dead Sunday after the crash.

A third woman, 18, remains in critical condition in hospital. Her friends said she is sedated, but hanging on.

All five occupants of the Sunfire are graduates of Dakota Collegiate. They were headed home from a Halloween party at the time of the accident.

Officials with the Louis Riel School Division said a grief team was sent to Dakota Collegiate because some of the victims' younger siblings still go to the school.

Police said the investigation has determined that a Chevrolet Cavalier travelling westbound on Bishop Grandin Boulevard collided with a Pontiac Sunfire travelling southbound on St. Marys Road.

Police said the Cavalier was occupied by the lone female driver and the Sunfire contained the five young women.

The 17-year-old female driver of the Cavalier was taken into custody and is facing numerous charges, including impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. She was released on a promise to appear in court.

Officers are asking that anyone who may have information about the collision to call investigators at 986-6271.

So far this year, police say 17 people have died in car crashes and two of those people died in crashes that police have confirmed were alcohol-related. However, police expect to confirm that more of the fatal crashes were alcohol-related.

In 2009, 11 people died in car crashes and three of them died in crashes that were alcohol-related.

In 2008, 10 people died in car crashes and two of them died in crashes that were alcohol-related.
