This was the scene on the Belt Parkway early Monday.

A speeding BMW flipped over as the driver failed to navigate a turn on Queens' Belt Parkway overnight, killing both of his passengers, authorities say.

Cops responding to the Belt Parkway crash near 150th Street in South Ozone Park around midnight found the BMW mangled. Both passengers died -- a 16-year-old boy at a hospital a short time later and a man in his late teens or early 20s who passed away at the scene, according to police.

The 19-year-old driver was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, though the nature of his injuries wasn't immediately clear.

Video posted to the Citizen app showed a heavy emergency response at the scene in the pre-dawn hours. No other vehicles were involved.

The identities of the victims have yet to be released.

The investigation is ongoing.
