ALEXANDRIA, Ind. (WISH) - A 17-year-old died of injuries suffered in a Thursday afternoon single-vehicle crash in Alexandria that sent three teens to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, The Herald Bulletin reports.

The most seriously injured was 17-year-old Darian Hurn who was riding in the front passenger seat. Deputies told the newspaper Hurn was in extremely critical condition after suffering head and internal injuries. He was flown to the hospital from the scene of the crash. He later died of his injuries.

Driver Paul Coy, 19, and passenger Alexis Kerns, 16, were also treated for injuries.
