A 15-year-old was killed and three other people were injured when someone driving a car that was reported stolen ran a red light and struck another vehicle early Monday morning in Montgomery County, police said.

About 4:50 a.m., Springfield Township police responded to a report of a crash at Stenton Avenue and East Evergreen Avenue.

Police said the teen boy was ejected from a red 2020 Hyundai Elantra that had been reported stolen in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Two other occupants of the Hyundai were trapped and needed to be removed before they were taken to Jefferson Philadelphia Hospital.
