SELINSGROVE — A 17-year-old girl from Freeburg died in a one- car crash in Monroe Township Sunday morning.

Lauren Harris was the sole occupant of her car, a 1996 Plymouth Neon.

State police said she was driving north on Penns Drive shortly before 10 a.m. Sunday when she lost control of the car about a mile north of Attig Road. The car crossed the roadway and struck with a tree.

Ms. Harris was not using a seatbelt, police said.

Her car was destroyed by the impact, police said.

Bruce Hummel, Snyder County coroner, said Ms. Hummel died of blunt force head trauma.

Assisting police and Mr. Hummel at the scene were Hummel's Wharf fire department and fire police and the DH&L ambulance.

Ms. Harris is the second teenage driver from Snyder County to be killed in a one-car accident in the past week. On April 15, Jeffrey M. Biddinger Jr., 17, of Selinsgrove died when he collided with a pickup truck on Route 204 in Penn Township.
