Police say the deadly crash involved a Chrysler 200 and Chevrolet Impala as the funeral procession was traveling northbound on South Arlington Street near 6th Avenue. Both boys were in the Chrysler, while the driver of the Chevy allegedly fled the scene.
"We believe one of the cars may have been operating in some type of reckless fashion," Akron Police Lt. Michael Miller said following the crash. "One of the cars may have tried to make a turn when the collision occurred, and the children were impacted by that."
Moments after the crash, police say an altercation at the scene resulted in at least one gunshot being fired.
The situation remains under investigation.
