The pair were rescued from the vehicle when it submerged in water under a bridge but tragically, they later died in hospital.
Emergency crews raced to the incident at 9.20pm yesterday in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool.
Rebecca Wilson, 27, who was travelling along the road last night, told Liverpool Echo: "We went to turn around the car and all of a sudden it looked like a waterfall coming down from the side of the bridge. As I looked back out of the window I turned to my mates and told them I thought I had just seen red lights under the water and I thought maybe someone had become stuck. I rang the police just to be safe.
Police remained at the scene on Sunday morning. The force will now investigate the accident, which happened in a community which has experienced flooding in the past. "Similarly, if you live in the area and have any doorbell or CCTV footage from last night please share this with us. Thank you for your patience whilst we deal with this tragic incident."
Another neighbour said: "It floods every time you have torrential rain. In the last six months there have been at least two cars stuck. There is nothing leading it to warn people of the flooding."
