RINDGE, N.H. (AP) - Police in New Hampshire say one of three teenagers who suffered serious injuries in a fiery crash that split a car in two last month has died.

State police say the car went off the road on Dec. 26 in Rindge, struck a tree, split in two and then burst into flames.

The 17-year-old driver and a 17-year-old passenger were taken to Monadnock Community Hospital with serious injuries. A 19-year-old passenger who suffered life-threatening injuries was identified as Nina Colasanto, of New Ipswich. Police said they learned Jan. 19 that she had died.



The accident remains under investigation but police believe speed was a factor.
