A teenaged driver from Glenwood died at a hospital in Omaha following a crash Thursday night in Mills County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 17-year old Tanner Porter, who was wearing his seat belt, died at the University of Nebraska Medical Center after being flown from the scene of the crash off of 221st Street.

Authorities say Porter was traveling south on 221st Street  in a 1997 Dodge pickup at around 8:15-p.m., when the vehicle left the road to the right and went out of control. The pickup rolled several times and hit a power pole before coming to rest in the west ditch.
