WAREHAM -- A 15-year-old Wareham girl was killed early today when the car she was driving at a high rate of speed failed to make a turn, went airborne, and crashed into a parked car, police said.

The girl, Samantha Callow, a sophomore at Wareham High School, was ejected from the car. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said Callow was driving without her headlights on. A police officer put on his lights and attempted to stop her car at about 3:10 a.m. on High Street. He began to follow her and then came upon the wreckage.

Police said the officer wasn't chasing the car when the crash happened.

The car came to rest at 16 Cedar St., police said in a statement.

It was unclear today whose car the girl was driving. The accident remains under investigation.
