Teen becomes impaled on guardrail and dies after her best friend, 16, is distracted while driving and crashes their car

A teenager has died after her best friend became distracted while driving her and hit a barrier - impaling the girl on a metal guardrail. Alexia Douglas, 16, died on impact after Christina Shiver, who had only just passed her driving test, lost control of her SUV in St. Petersburg, Florida at 7pm on Friday and smacked into a barrier. The car jumped the curb onto the sidewalk. Authorities say metal guardrails pierced through the passenger's side windshield, killing Alexia immediately. Christina, also 16, was treated in hospital but only suffered minor injuries. A witness said that she believed her best friend was still alive and wanted to ride with her in the ambulance to hospital.
