TAMPA, Fla. — Two men were killed Sunday morning after their car crashed into a wall near an apartment complex on North 50th Street near East Busch Boulevard.

The crash happened around 5 a.m. and shut down North 50th Street in both directions for several hours before it reopened to traffic.

Officers said the car hit several objects before crashing into the wall. Both men weren't wearing seatbelts and the department added that speed may have been a factor.
