A Highlands area teen was killed and three injured last night in a two-vehicle crash in Allegheny County.

The County Medical Examiner's office identified the dead teen as 17-year-old Michael Martinka, of Blue Ridge Avenue in Natrona, according to today's issue of the Valley News Dispatch.  Martinka died when a car in which he was a passenger collided with a U-Haul truck on Springhill Road near the entrance to the Sheldon Park housing plan in Harrison Township at about 10:20pm.

Three other people in the car sustained injuries and were taken to Pittsburgh hospitals. Their names and that of the truck driver have not yet been released.  The driver of the U-Haul and a female passenger were not injured.
