MILBANK, S.D. (AP) - One teenager is dead and four others hurt after a sport utility vehicle rolled over in northeastern South Dakota.

The South Dakota State Patrol says the crash happened Tuesday afternoon a mile north of Milbank. Authorities say a 14-year-old boy who was driving a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer lost control on a gravel road.

A 15-year-old female passenger was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene. Authorities say she was not wearing a seat belt.



The driver and three other teenage girls in the SUV had minor injuries.

The names of the five are not being released until family members are notified.
