MOUNT VERNON — An early morning rollover crash injured six people and claimed the life of a juvenile Tuesday on Interstate 57 south of Mt. Vernon.

The Jefferson County Coroner pronounced a juvenile passenger dead on the scene. The six other occupants in the vehicle were transported to local area hospitals with injuries.
