If the president and vice president died in a car crash, the next in line to lead the country according to the Presidential Succession Act (not the 25th Amendment) would be the Speaker of the House. The 25th Amendment addresses presidential succession and other issues related to presidential disability, but it does not specify the line of succession beyond the vice president.
