The Summit County Medical Examiner's office has identified two of the four people who died in a fiery one-car crash on Goodyear Boulevard Monday morning. 

They are 29 year old Colleen A. Wood, from Malasia Road, in Akron, and 29 year old Alex Jay Lester, from Merrill Road, in Ravenna.

But--they have not yet been able to identify two other men who were killed in the accident, which police say may have been related to excessive speed. So, the Medical Examiner's office is now asking anyone who may have information about who those two men might be--to give them a call, at 330-643-2101.
