A minor has been killed and another injured in a serious early morning crash on Sunday on Route 95.

According to Rhode Island State Police, this morning just after 4:00 a.m., the Hope Valley Barracks received multiple E-911 calls for a single-car motor vehicle crash on Route 95 North, in the vicinity of exit 3, in the Town of Richmond. Troopers from the Hope Valley Barracks, along with members of Hope Valley Fire and Rescue, responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, Troopers determined that the vehicle, a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu, had exited the highway off the right shoulder and struck a tree. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage.

The juvenile male operator was located sitting outside of the vehicle with minor injuries. The juvenile female front seat passenger was located trapped within the vehicle with significant injuries. Hope Valley Fire and Rescue personnel were able to extricate the juvenile female from the vehicle; however, she was pronounced deceased on scene.

Due to the age of the parties involved, names were not released by police. Neither the operator, nor the passenger, are Rhode Island residents.

The investigation remains ongoing.
