Teen Ranch is closed today, following a horrifying accident involving two minors on Highway 10 this morning. According to early reports, shortly after 4 a.m. this morning, a car driven by a 14-year-old boy slammed into a barrier on Highway 10, north of Highpoint Sideroad.

Earlier this morning, The CBC reported a 13-year-old passenger in the vehicle died on the scene, while the driver has been transported to hospital. There has been no word on the condition of the teen when he was transported.
