According to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office, Jayden Allen died at University Hospitals Medical Center in Cleveland.

The crash happened on June 6 around 4 p.m. on Johnston Parkway in Cleveland.

A worker at a nearby business said surveillance cameras captured the car speeding through a curve in the road when the driver appeared to lose control, hit a light pole with the back of the car and careen into a tree.

Cleveland Police told News 5 Investigator Scott Noll that firefighters responded to the scene and had to extricate the 13-year-old, along with a 12-year-old boy, from a blue Kia.
