Hollywood police on Wednesday identified the three people who died in a fiery crash late last month.

Anthony Gray, 25, Humberto J. Altamirano, 25 and Steven Vega, 27, died when the 2016 Infinity they were in collided with a minivan and became engulfed in flames. The person in the minivan was not seriously injured.
