A Kissimmee teen was killed in an Osceola County crash this morning (Friday) after his cousin, who was driving at a high rate of speed, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to flip.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Ismael Patterson, 18, of North Miami, was driving a 2007 Mazda van southbound on Silver Park Circle at about 9:20 a.m. with a passenger, his cousin, Alvis Joubert, 13.

Traveling at a high rate of speed, Patterson, for unknown reasons, failed to negotiate a curve and lost control of the van, patrol reports stated. The van overturned, ejecting Joubert. The van then traveled off the roadway and struck a wall. Joubert was taken to Osceola Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. He was not wearing a seat belt, reports stated. Patterson was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center in serious condition.

A pedestrian, Stacie Jenkins, 25, of Kissimmee, who was walking in a parking lot behind the wall the van struck, was hit with debris after the impact and suffered minor injuries.

Three other vehicles that were parked in the lot behind the same wall were damaged by debris.

The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending.
