Fort Worth police say a 18-year-old driver was killed after being ejected from a sport utility vehicle during an overnight crash.
According to Fort Worth police, two teens were traveling at a high rate of speed in a Jeep Cherokee before the driver lost control of the vehicle near the 1000 block of Diamondback Lane at about 12:55 a.m. Tuesday.
