All reminders of three young lives cut short.

"I just cried the whole day because it was so sad that they are actually gone," said Ebony Peterson, a friend of the two brothers.

Early Sunday morning, Virginia Beach Police say 18-year old Alonzo Jarmon, his brother, 16-year-old Michael and a 10 year-old family friend, Shaqwane Williams, were driving home after getting something to eat, when somehow, their car came in contact with a pickup truck driven by 21 year-old Daniel Sieg.

The car ran off the road, and smashed into a tree.

The force of the impact was so great, it split the car in half, killing all three.

"They were very popular in school - did very good in school - got good grades. They always looked out for everybody. They were about doing the right thing," said Saiquan Fogg, another friend of the victims.

Because the Jarmon brothers were always doing the right things themselves.

Michael had just made the junior varsity basketball team at Cox High School.

Alonzo also attended Cox, where he was a track star and member of the Drama Club.

Just hours before the accident, he starred in a play at the school.

"He was a people person. He had a beautiful personailty, very entergetic; lot's of talent; lot's of friends," their cousin, Larissa Smith, told us.

Virginia Beach Police charged 21-year-old Daniel Sieg with driving under the influence.

He's being held at the Virginia Beach Correctional Center.

Police are asking anyone who might have seen the accident to call them.
