Authorities say a Manchester teenager rolled his car into a ditch with his friends in it and then shot himself to death on his 18th birthday.
The Delaware County sheriff's office says James Padilla was driving his car on a county road between Dyersville and Earlville in northeast Iowa early Monday when he crashed his car in a ditch. Officials say he got out of the car, pulled a rifle from the trunk and shot himself in the head.
He died at the scene. His four passengers were treated for minor injuries.
No other information has been released. The investigation is continuing.
