CLARENCE, NY (WIVB) - Investigators will release their findings today in connection with the accident that killed four teenagers in Clarence over the weekend.

Investigators say they are looking into things like cell phone records and where the teens were before the deadly crash.

So far, investigators have focused on speeding as the main cause.

Today, the Erie County Sheriff's office is expected to release more information about the crash at a news conference.

Investigators have already determined 18 year-old Viktor Shaprio was speeding and failed to stop at the intersection of Strickler and County Roads. Shapiro's funeral services were Tuesday.

Yesterday morning dozens of vehicles pulled into St. Gregory the Great Church in Amherst for the funeral of 19 year-old Mark Brown.

Another passenger 16 year-old Amanda Slisz was also laid to rest Thursday.

Saturday, family and friends will say a final goodbye to the 16-year-old Megan Schnoor. Her funeral will be held at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Williamsville.

Frank Nicotra lives near the crash scene and he doesn't want to see another tragedy like this again. He hopes to get enough petitions signed to get a four way stop of traffic light at the deadly intersection.

Due to safety concerns, the roadside memorial has been moved to Saint Gregory the Great - the same place where family and friends will gather for a prayer service tonight in memory of all four victims.
