Ohio woman dead after a car full of teens crashes

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio teen was killed early Saturday morning after a car full of teens veered off a country road and overturned.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that 18-year-old Samantha Thompson of Junction City died after the car flipped over in Amanda Township — about 25 miles south of Columbus.

The four other teens in the car — including the 19-year-old driver — were taken to local hospitals. The newspaper reports that the driver’s in fair condition and the three other passengers have been released.
