A 15-year-old boy is dead and six other teens have been airlifted to Toronto trauma centres after a pickup truck lost control and flipped in Brock Township, Ont.

Durham police said the crash occurred around 12:40 a.m. on Sunday on Side Road 18, between Highway 7 and Concession Road 10.

According to police, a grey 2006 Chevrolet Sierra pickup truck was southbound on Sideline Road 18 when it lost control, left the roadway and rolled into a ditch.
