Glendale police said on May 25, just after 7 p.m., an older model dark-colored Infiniti sedan was traveling northwest on Grand Avenue near 53rd Avenue when it lost control and crashed into a curb.

A 15-year-old boy died on the scene and the three other teenagers were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

Police said it appeared the 17-year-old who was driving the car was speeding and did not have a license.

The car crashed after attempting to avoid hitting another vehicle turning left onto 53rd Avenue. The car spun out of control and rolled over. 

Three unrestrained occupants were ejected, according to police.
