A 17-year-old boy was killed late Saturday night in a two-car crash on Interstate 93 in Canton, Massachusetts, state police said.
The Natick teen, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, was a rear-seat passenger in a Jeep Wrangler that was involved in a crash around 10:30 p.m. on I-93 in the area of Exit 2B, according to state police.
Police say the driver of the Wrangler -- another 17-year-old boy -- was driving southbound when he attempted to cross multiple lanes to take the exit. The Jeep struck a Toyota Corolla, which caused it to roll over into the adjacent infield.
