SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A tragic accident early Monday morning in Montgomery County resulted in the death of a 15-year-old boy and left several others injured. The teenager was ejected from a stolen Hyundai Elantra during the collision and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other individuals trapped in the same vehicle were rushed to Jefferson Einstein Medical Center for treatment. The crash occurred around 5 a.m. when the Hyundai Elantra, which had been reported stolen to Philadelphia police just two days prior, allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of Stenton Avenue and East Evergreen Avenue.
