ANAHEIM – Both were soccer stars and former classmates at tightknit Servite High School, the boys Catholic school in Anaheim. Their second year of college beckoned in the fall. But early Sunday, the two friends climbed into a borrowed Ferrari and sped down what some say is one of the most dangerous roads in the county.
Brian Doyel and Christopher Goessling, both 19, didn't travel far on winding Nohl Ranch Road before one of them lost control of the sports car and crashed into a tree about 2:10 a.m. The impact split the Ferrari in two, and it burst into flames. Police said the friends died instantly.
"Everything after the dashboard ended up in little pieces," said Stan Kruk, 45, whose home overlooks the crash site. "It's one of the worst accidents that I have seen."
It is unclear who was driving. Doyel had been housesitting nearby for his vacationing aunt and uncle, who owned the red Ferrari, said Dennis Doyel, Brian's father.
Police said they do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved.
