A 16-year-old boy has died and four other teens are hospitalized after their car collided with another early Sunday morning, police said.

It happened on Maricopa/Casa Grande Highway near Bianco Road at 12:12 a.m.

Five occupants in a Chevrolet Impala were ejected after it crashed into a Chevrolet Silverado, according to Casa Grande police spokesman Thomas Anderson.

Anderson said Randy Puerner, 19; Justin Harrington, 17; Dakota Repass, 16, and Anthony Brooks, 16, were airlifted to Phoenix area hospitals. Their conditions are not known. All five remain hospitalized in various Phoenix area hospitals.

James Seaton, 16, did not survive his injuries.

Jennifer McGee, 34, of Maricopa, was driving the Silverado and suffered serious injuries, Anderson said.

Investigators believe the Impala was heading east when it entered a westbound lane and speed may have been a factor.

Investigators have reopened a roadway between Val Vista Boulevard and Bianco Road.

I am Anthony, and I was in the accident, speed was a factor everyone but James had their seatbelt on. Not everyone was air lifted. I wasn't.

Rest In Paradise James.. I can't tell you how much this affected everybody. Casa Grande has came together to help your mom.. Monday at school was soo depressing. I'm still in denial, I can't believe you're gone. I was just with you last week.. We were joking around at the track meet... This is hard on all of us... We miss you soo much if only you were still here.. Rest In paradise James, we know you're still with us, looking over all of us. I hope to see you soon.. Fly with the angels now.. You will forever be missed.
