A teenager was killed while three other young men were injured after he crashed a stolen SUV while fleeing state police in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, investigators said.
On Saturday, shortly after midnight, Pennsylvania state troopers tried to pull over a white Kia Soul for traffic violations on Route 422 eastbound in the area of Lewis Road in Limerick Township, according to officials. The driver of the Kia, an unidentified 18-year-old man, failed to pull over and a chase ensued, state police said.
