The Post [reports ](http://nypost.com/2014/05/25/three-young-men-survive-horrific-car-crash/?ref=bklyner.com)that police are still investigating the cause:

> Cops said there were no immediate indications of alcohol or drug use, but they’re looking into whether speed was a factor.

> The impact left the car’s tires blown out, its hood sheared off, and the windshield shattered.

> Passers-by gaped at the sight of the wrecked car, which at a quick glance appeared to have a tree growing out of it.

The car stayed wrapped around the tree for several hours, with the wreckage only being loaded onto an NYPD tow truck after 9:00 a.m.
