Preliminary reports that the 2005 Honda plunged off an elevated section of nearby Interstate 210 were inaccurate, the highway patrol said.
The sedan came to rest upside-down on a sidewalk underneath the highway overpass.
The 17-year-old driver and 16-year-old passenger died at the scene and another 17-year-old passenger died at a hospital, officials said.
The cause is under investigation.
