An Odin teenager was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Marion County Tuesday afternoon.

The name of the 17-year-old boy has not been released.

State police say the 17-year-old was driving on Cemetery Road at Norton Road, south of Sandoval, when the crash occurred at 4:36pm. The car ran off the roadway to the left and struck a tree head-on. The Marion County Coroner pronounced the youth dead at the scene of the crash.

A 16-year-old Odin boy who was a passenger in the car was injured in the crash. He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Centralia and was expected to be airlifted for additional treatment.

Today's scheduled Odin vs. St. Anthony baseball game has been canceled due to the crash.
