The crash had not been reported to police when officers came across the scene at a large concrete pit in a rural construction site on the southwest edge of the city.
Police had identified the six missing people as Curtis King, 22; River Wells, 23; Jason Ono-O’Connor, 22; Luke West, 22; Jersey Mitchell; and Haley Marin.
