Disturbing video captured the moment two teenagers were killed after they motorcycle crashed into a tree in the western central Colombian department of Quindio.

The footage showed Katherine Cubillos, 19, riding the bike and Selena Valentina, also 19, sitting on the back while she filmed while they were traveling from the town of Pueblo Tapao to Montenegro.

The two friends, who were not wearing helmets, can be seen shouting in joy and smiling at the cellphone camera.

On multiple occasions Cubillos took her eyes off the dark road despite traveling at a high speed.

The young women disappear from the view of the camera shortly before Cubillos slammed into a tree near a condominium.

The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and had not been arrested as of Tuesday.

Gustavo Santos, who leads a local motorcycle club, expressed concerns over the series of deadly accidents. 

‘The situation that is occurring in the department of Quindío with the issue of accidents is very sad, there are many families that are sad and there are many lives that are lost,’ Santos said. 

‘We cannot say that this is going to stop here, accidents will continue to happen. We cannot criminalize one or the other, we do not know who is to blame in many of these accidents, what we do know is that lives are being lost.’
