Hartford — Police in Connecticut say a 13-year-old boy driving a stolen car has died in a fiery early morning crash.

Hartford Deputy Chief Brian Foley tells the Hartford Courant the crash was reported at about 3 a.m. Thursday.

The severely burned driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Foley says a 15-year-old passenger was taken by a private vehicle to St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, then transferred to the burns unit at Bridgeport Hospital where he was "alert and conscious."

Both the car that crashed and the vehicle that dropped the other victim at the hospital were reported stolen from an apartment complex in Middletown.

No names were released.
