FRANKFORT - Two Utica teenagers who had graduated from Proctor High School in June were killed in a one car accident in Frankfort Saturday night.

Friends of the victims told NEWSChannel 2 that the victims are Sergey Volk and Vitaly Sidorevich, both 17 years old.

Upon arrival, police officers discovered that a 1998 BMW had wrapped around a maple tree in front of 600 Brockway Road. The roof of the vehicle was found to have been caved in trapping the occupants inside the vehicle. The driver, 17 year old Sergey Volk, and the passenger, 17 year old Vitaly Sidorevich, were checked at the scene and were found to be unresponsive. Police say that excessive speed was a contributing factor to the accident.

Friends said that the teens, both born in Russia, were returning to Utica from the birthday of a relative.

The accident occurred around 10:30pm, Saturday, on Brockway Road in Frankfort.

Great minds discuss Ideas, Average minds discuss Events and VERY SMALL MINDS DISCUSS PEOPLE.....Let us all work together to prevent this! Since this accident have you talked to your children about speeding, about obedience to the law and the consequence if you don't. Have you talked to loved ones about their destiny and purpose in life or do u have no Idea what u are doing on this Earth? Have you told ur family you love them or are u putting it off until tomorrow? What if tomorrow never comes?

First I would like to let the family know that I am sorry for their loss. Second, this kid had a car with no insurance, no registration, switched license plates and neither one of them had a valid driver's license. If they had obeyed the laws of the state of new york, this article would not be here and these two boys would because it would have never happened.

Honeslty, it doesn't matter if the car was a bmw. I got my first bmw when I was 17 years old, and it was probably less expensive too. What really matters is that two people died. Lets just keep the families in our prayers. Whether they were speeding or not, we can still learn not to speed and to always drive carefully. You never know when its your time. May God bless the families, and please keep them in your prayers.

For the 26 year old without a BMW, your comment makes no sense. The car was 10 years old. Instead of making stupid and/or jealous comments, why don't you all just say a prayer for the boys and their families? They are in pain and you are NOT helping.

I'd like to express my sorrow for the families and my gratitude to the volunteers that responded to this awful tragedy. Strange that the OD online doesn't seem to know this even happened 4 miles from the city line, but they can run info stories about the dangers of BB guns. Good job OD, right on top of things again.
