A 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were killed in a single-vehicle crash Monday evening in south Edmonton.

Police responded to the crash on Calgary Trail near 41 Avenue SW around 6:30 p.m.

According to the Edmonton Police Service, a 2014 Land Rover was southbound when it lost control and struck a culvert in the centre median.

The rear passenger, a 16-year-old boy, was thrown from the vehicle before the Land Rover rolled "several times," EPS added.

He was declared dead on scene and later identified to CTV News Edmonton as Wael Rahimi.
