COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 17-year-old Centralia High School student and basketball player is dead after a crash in Boone County on Wednesday at 9:45 p.m.

A Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report said the 17-year-old failed to stop at a stop sign on Highway 124 at Gano Chance Road.

The Centralia Panthers basketball team posted that the victim was Hunter Hull. Hull was a junior at Centralia last year and a member of the varsity boys' basketball team. He also played on a traveling team. A teammate was riding with him and suffered injuries.

"Hunter was an important part of our basketball family, and his loss is felt deeply by his teammates, coaches, classmates, and friends," the team posted.

A 28-year-old Columbia woman driving an SUV crossed the center of the road trying to avoid the teen's vehicle. The woman's SUV hit the backside of the teen's vehicle, causing the teen's vehicle to overturn several times and throwing him from the vehicle.

Hull was taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The 28-year-old woman was taken to Missouri Hospital with serious injuries.

An 18-year-old man from Centralia, Keilin Dorman, was a passenger in Hull's vehicle, and he was taken to University Hospital with serious injuries. Dorman plays travel basketball on the same team as Hull -- JC Elite. The team identified him in a post Thursday morning and said he remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

Dorman also played at Hallsville High School.

This is Troop F's sixth death for June.
