According to a preliminary investigation, the 16-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to strike a utility pole and roll over. There were three other passengers in the vehicle, all 16 or 17 years old.
One of the passengers, a 16-year-old boy, died at the scene from his injuries, the sheriff's office said. The other three teens were taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
