Another Prince William County teenager has been killed in car crash. She is the second teen to die in a crash in less than a week.
Police said Alyssa Leighann Beach, 16, of the 10000 block of Schaeffer Lane in Nokesville, was driving west in the 12400 block of Vint Hill Road when she lost control of her car, went into a ditch and hit a tree.
She and a 16-year-old passenger, who was also in the car when it crashed, were taken to a local hospital where Beach later died Sunday.
Police said both girls were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash and speed or alcohol doesn’t appear to be a factor.
Both girls attended Brentsville High School.
