The North Carolina Highway patrol says a 16-year-old died Wednesday afternoon in a single-car crash.

It happened just before 3 p.m. on Lebanon Rd. near Mill Creek Rd. in Orange County.

Troopers said 16-year-old Desmond Piccini of Mebane was driving a 1989 Ford Mustang east on Lebanon Rd. when the car travelled onto the eastbound shoulder.

Piccini apparently overcorrected, causing the car to cross the center line onto the westbound shoulder, where it hit a rock wall and overturned.
