A 15-year-old Southland High School sophomore was killed in a one-vehicle accident Sunday morning.

According to a Mower County Sheriff's Department report, Lewis Donald Sorensen, 15 of Dexter, was pronounced dead at the scene of an accident along a gravel road (250th Street) midway between Dexter and Grand Meadow.

The teen-ager was ejected from the pickup truck he was driving. According to sheriff's department report, the truck skidded on the gravel road, went into a ditch and rolled three times before coming to a rest.

The driver was alone in the vehicle.

The teen-ager lived with his grandmother, Charlotte Sorensen of Dexter.

Early Sunday morning, Lewis Sorensen took a relative's pickup truck to Grand Meadow to visit a girlfriend.

Later Sunday morning, the relative found his pickup truck in a farm field. The body of the teen was found lying near the pickup truck.

Sheriff's department officials said the exact time of the accident is unknown.
