Durham police are investigating whether speed and driver inexperience contributed to a car crash in Ajax that killed a 17-year-old girl.
The teen was airlifted to a hospital on Sunday where she later died of her injuries.
Her Toyota collided with a Nissan around 4:30 p.m. on Harwood Avenue North, south of Taunton Road West.
The driver of the Nissan and two passengers suffered minor injuries.
Witnesses reported seeing the Toyota travelling northbound on Harwood at a high speed.
The driver lost control of the car, crossing the centre line and crashing into the Nissan before colliding with a hydro pole, police said in a news release.
