SALISBURY — Police say speed and drugs were factors in a single-vehicle collision Sunday that resulted in the death of a 16-year-old male.

The driver, Alex Garcia, 19, was traveling northbound around 6:30 a.m. on Jake Alexander Blvd. toward Statesville Boulevard, Salisbury Police said.

He lost control of his 2014 Mercedes sport utility vehicle, left the roadway and collided with a tree, police said.

The others injured included an 18-year-old and two 16-year-olds, neither of whom police have named. The 18-year-old and one 16-year-old remain in critical condition.

Garcia was charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and failure to maintain lane of travel.
