An 8-year-old child is dead after a crash in Massac County Tuesday morning.

Illinois State Police say a 16-year-old drove south on Mill Springs Road around 11 a.m. The driver lost control and went down a steep embankment. The pickup truck ended up on the driver’s side in a rocky creek bed.

Investigators say the driver was not thrown out of the truck but all four of his passengers were. Three of them were riding in the bed of the truck.

The coroner pronounced the 8-year-old dead at the scene. Everyone else involved in the crash were taken to nearby hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.

No names of anyone involved have been released.
