The car was nearly cut in two from the impact and police say the young victim was not wearing his seatbelt.

Crash reconstruction investigators had the area closed for several hours while they pieced together what happened.

Police believe speed and road conditions were factors in the crash but more will be determined during the investigation.

Acting Sgt. Mudassir Rana says alcohol is not yet considered a factor but they’ll wait for toxicology reports to make a final determination.
