VALDOSTA — A teenager was killed in an early morning crash Tuesday, police said.

At about 3:20 a.m., police responded to the 1100 block of East Hill Avenue near the intersection with Mildred Street in reference to a single-vehicle accident, the Valdosta Police Department said in a statement.

Officers found the driver and two passengers injured; one of the passengers — Destiny C. Brown, 19, of Valdosta — was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The other two occupants of the car were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the statement said.

The investigation is ongoing and no more information is being released at the moment, police said Tuesday.
