A 17-year-old girl killed in a rollover accident in Black Forest Tuesday morning has been identified as Lolita Prater of Monument. There were three teenage passengers in the SUV -- none were hurt.

The crash happened just before 3:00 am.  The Colorado State Patrol reports that Prater lost control of the vehicle.  She was not wearing a seatbelt and partially ejected.

The passengers --Daniel Slate, 18; Jessica St. James, 14 and Alexus Jones, 14 -- were transported to the hospital as a precaution, but they're all OK.
