A two-vehicle crash killed a 17-year-old and injured a second teenager in Springfield Twp. Saturday afternoon.

The Springfield Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol identified the teen as Dylan Frederick, 17, of Springfield.

Crews responded to reports of a fatal crash around 12 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 68 and Springfield Xenia Road, according to the patrol.

Both vehicles then traveled off the left side of the roadway, and the BMW hit a ditch.

Frederick was flown by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Frederick’s passenger was transported by ambulance to Springfield Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The front seat passenger in the F-350 was treated on scene for minor injuries.

OSHP was assisted on scene by Springfield Twp. Fire and EMS, Clark County Sheriff’s Office, ODOT and Shield Towing.
