A 15-year-old was killed and three other people were injured when someone driving a car that was reported stolen ran a red light and struck another vehicle early Monday morning in Montgomery County, police said.

About 4:50 a.m., Springfield Township police responded to a report of a crash at Stenton Avenue and East Evergreen Avenue.
