KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three teenagers were killed in a crash when a vehicle they were in went airborne and struck a tree, Missouri police say.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said five people were in the Ford Focus that crashed around 3:40 a.m. on Sunday in Lincoln County.
According to troopers, a 17-year-old girl was driving the Focus “too fast for conditions” when the vehicle “became airborne, landed, began to skid, and traveled off the roadway striking a tree and overturning.’”
