The Fayetteville Police Department said the deadly crash happened shortly after 8 p.m. on Cliffdale Road near Lynhurst Drive.
All lanes on Cliffdale Road between Windemere Drive and Lansdowne Road have been closed and motorists are urged to use an alternate route until emergency crews can clear the area. Motorists should expect delays.
Eyewitnesses said they saw a motorcycle, but there wasn't one at the accident scene.
Officers are investigating the crash are looking into whether there was some sort of altercation before the crash.
Investigators will likely work through the night because of the complexity of the accident.
The names of the deceased are being withheld until officers are able to contact next of kin. Medlock said the victims appeared to be "young," perhaps in their late teens or early 20s.
Anyone with information concerning the fatal crash is asked to contact the Fayetteville Police Department's Traffic Unit at (910) 433-1830 or Crimestoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).
