A 17 year old Crestview youth has died in a single car crash.

The Florida Highway Patrol identified the fatality as Mitchell Lee Kertis.

Troopers say the crash occurred on State Road 85 at its intersection with State Road 123 at Crestview.

Witnesses told the Florida Highway Patrol Kertis ran a red light at the intersection, lost control as he swerved to avoid other traffic, and overturned several times.

Kertis, who was not wearing a seat belt, was partially ejected as the vehicle overturned
