A 15-year-old passenger was killed in a single-car rollover crash in Tavernier, an unincorporated town in the Upper Keys near Key Largo, according to local media.
The crash happened Monday night as the driver made a sharp left-hand turn into a local shopping center at mile marker 91. The boy, who was riding in the passenger-side seat, was ejected from the car.
Officials with Florida Highway Patrol told The Miami Herald that one of the vehicle’s tires hit the median when the car was turning left from a U.S. 1 northbound lane and began to tip over onto its right side. While on its passenger side, the car slid across the southbound lanes and stopped at the shopping center’s entrance.
