Farmington teen dies in car crash

A 17-year-old from Farmington died Saturday after his car was rear-ended and pushed into oncoming traffic.

Rodrigo Leon Dooley was driving on 160th Street E. in Vermillion Township, west of Hastings, when he was rear-ended by the driver of an SUV about 2:30 p.m. as he slowed on the two-lane road to turn left, according to the State Patrol.

The crash pushed Dooley's Toyota Corolla into oncoming traffic and a minivan collided with it head-on. The State Patrol said Dooley, who was wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.
