Margarita Santiago, 32, Miguel A. Barreto Jr., 34, and Hector G. Perez, 37, killed in single vehicle crash on Route 3 in North Bergen on July 3.

Two of the three victims have been identified in a fatal single-car crash in North Bergen this morning, authorities said.

The three -- Margarita Santiago, 32, of Passaic, Miguel A. Barreto Jr., 34, of Leominster, Mass., and another Massachusetts man, died at the scene, said Mike Makarski, a spokesman for the Hudson County Sheriff's Office.

The identity of the second Massachusetts man has not yet been released. Authorities did not identify which person was driving.

The vehicle, a white Mercedes station wagon, struck the guard rail at the point where Route 3 eastbound merges with Route 495, sending the vehicle into the air, Makarski said. Authorities believe speed was a factor in the crash.

The minivan landed on the driver's side door and slide about 153 feet before striking a light pole, leaving the mangled vehicle in multiple pieces.
