FALMOUTH, Mass. (AP) - Police say a Falmouth high school student was killed and another was seriously injured in a car crash.

A state police spokesman says the vehicle went off the road and hit a tree on Thursday night. First responders found the car in the woods with two people trapped inside.

Police say both occupants were Falmouth High School students. The driver, a 17-year-old East Falmouth boy, was killed.

The passenger was extricated from the car and airlifted to Rhode Island Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The students weren't immediately identified. The Falmouth High School athletic director says the students are members of the boy's ice hockey team.

The crash remains under investigation.
