Two boys, aged 13 and 14, were killed when the car they were travelling in left the road and hit a tree.
The pair were passengers in the car along with two other teenagers, who are in critical condition, and the 21-year-old driver, who is also seriously ill in hospital.
All the boys are understood to have been in the car without permission from their parents.
The accident happened on the A62 Gelderd Road, in Morley, Leeds, close to the CAT Finning facility, at around 1.50pm on Saturday.
The two boys who died have been named locally as George Wharton and Rhys Baker. They were from the Leeds area, police said.
Superintendent Sam Millar, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "This is a terrible tragedy for two young boys who had their whole lives ahead of them.
"Specially trained officers are currently investigating the exact circumstances of the incident and helping the families in what is a terrible time for them.
"The two boys were from the local area and attended the Bruntcliffe Secondary School and Morley Academy and we are also supporting the schools at this difficult time.
"It is thought that a 21-year-old man picked the four boys up from their homes without the permission of their parents.
"We are appealing for any witnesses to how the car - a blue coloured Peugeot - was being driven before the incident.
"We believe the car overtook another vehicle at speed and then collided with a tree on Gelderd Road near to the Finning premises. The car was being driven in the direction of Gildersome at the time.
"The driver remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition. We are appealing for any witnesses to the specific incident but also the movements and behaviour of the car during the rest of the day.
"We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw the vehicle at the Tesco Express store.
"I would also like to praise a number of members of the public who stopped at the scene of the incident and helped in whatever way they could."
Policed asked for any witnesses to the crash to get in touch on 101.
