-- A 9-year-old Turlock boy has been killed in a car accident on Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County, according to the California Highway Patrol.

About 12:55 p.m. Sunday, the driver of a white 1997 Ford Explorer carrying five passengers made an abrupt turn to the left, for unknown reasons, and lost control of the vehicle south of Afton Road.

The vehicle slid, then overturned several times, the CHP said.

The boy, seated in the left rear, was partially ejected, suffering fatal head trauma, according to a news release. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The vehicle's other occupants suffered moderate injuries and were transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton for treatment.

The CHP's Barstow station is investigating the accident.
