A 17-year-old teenager accused of driving a vehicle involved in a crash that killed two of his classmates admitted he had been drinking the night of the crash, court documents reveal.

Takunda Mavima was arraigned on eight felonies Tuesday morning --

Two counts of operating a motor vehicle under the influence causing death
Two counts of reckless driving causing death
Two counts of operating while intoxicated causing serious injury
Two counts of reckless driving causing serious impairment
His bond was set at $50,000.

In a probable cause affidavit filed with the court by a Wyoming Police officer, it's alleged that Takunda has confessed to some of the allegations.

"(Takunda) admitted to being under the influence of alcohol," officer Phil Swiercz wrote. "(He) admitted to driving too fast and lost control."

Police said Takunda was driving a car with five other teenagers as passengers when he crashed on the Interstate 196 off-ramp to Chicago Drive in Wyoming during the early morning of May 20.

Krysta Howell, 15, and Timothy See, 17, died from injuries they suffered. Huy Nguyen, Trenton Lambright and Dylan Stanaway were hurt in the wreck.

All of the teens are from Wyoming Park High School.

Takunda is a well-liked and popular student at the school, his friends told 24 Hour News 8. They said he is smart and had plans to attend school at Grand Valley State University in the fall.

"He's smarter than that. He's way smarter than that," said Gabby Menard, a friend of the teens. "I don't know what was going through his head."

Records showed that Takunda posted bond May 22 and was released from the Kent County Jail. He is expected back in court on May 30 for a preliminary examination.
