DETROIT (WWJ) - A Detroit teen, who shouldn't have been driving, has been charged with murder in the death of a 13-year-old girl in a crash.

According to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office 16-year-old Jhanya Burton was speeding on E. McNichols near Bradford Ave. last month when she struck a tree.

The victims, who was one of six passengers in the vehicle, was ejected from the SUV and killed. Several of the others, all between 14 and 20 years old from Eastpointe and Detroit, were injured.

Burton fled the scene on foot, prosecutors said, but later turned herself in to Detroit police.

Along with a charge of Second Degree Murder, Burton was arraigned on one count of Operating – License Suspended, Revoked, or Denied Causing Death; and five counts of Operating – License Suspended, Revoked, or Denied Causing Serious Injury.

Burton has been adult designated, which means if convicted the judge could choose to sentence her as juvenile, as an adult, or in some combination.

She remains held at the Juvenile Detention Center awaiting her next court appearance, a Preliminary Examination, scheduled for Oct. 24.
