A white Chevrolet Malibu, traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed, left the roadway, struck a drainage culvert, and became airborne before rolling several times. The vehicle was occupied by three juvenile males aged 17, 16, and 16.
The 16-year-old rear passenger sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel. The 17-year-old driver and the 16-year-old front passenger were transported to a nearby hospital with injuries. The driver, who did not have a valid license, has been charged with Misdemeanor Death by Motor Vehicle.
