The Bangor teen — whose name was not made public — was driving west on Poplar Valley Road when her Hyundai Elantra hit the crest of a hill, struck a tree on the right side and overturned several times around 1:30 p.m., according to PSP in Stroudsburg.
The girl, 17, was pronounced dead at the scene while her 16-year-old passenger was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Speed was a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation, police said.
