Speed is said to be a factor in a crash that killed a 15 year old in Ladysmith early Saturday.
Mounties say a vehicle was heading southbound on Brenton Page Road at around 5 a.m. when it left the road, travelling 45 metres down a steep embankment.
The vehicle came to a stop on Reiber Road.
The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 16-year-old driver of the vehicle and two other passengers suffered minor injuries.
