Berlin (dpa) - After a horror crash with a fully occupied car in Berlin-Treptow, a third inmate died.

The 19-year-old died on Saturday in the hospital from his severe burn injuries, the police said.

"Bild" and "BZ" had previously reported.

The car with four occupants between the ages of 19 and 21 crashed into a construction container late Tuesday evening with such force that it tore up and went up in flames.

A young man died at the scene of the accident, a second a few hours later.

The alleged driver was not injured as badly.

He is being investigated for negligent homicide and illegal motor vehicle racing with a fatal outcome.

The car is said to have been traveling far too fast.

The responsible judge had rejected an arrest warrant requested by the public prosecutor.

An urgent suspicion was therefore not seen.
