Police identified the victim in the car crash in Rutland, Vt. Wednesday night as 17-year-old Carly Ferro.

Rutland Police Lieutenant Kevin Geno said the driver of the Toyota Camry, Alex Spanos, was driving around 60 MPH in a 30 MPH residential zone.

Ferro was leaving the Discount Food and Liquidation Center where she worked around 6 p.m.

Her dad was waiting outside the store to pick her up.

As Ferro was getting into the vehicle, Geno said, Spanos crashed into the car pinning her up against the wall. Spanos then hit other cars.

Ferro was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center and died a short time later.

Police say Spanos hit the car after he was believed to be huffing and drinking beer.

Passengers in Spanos' car took empty beer bottles and threw them behind a bush near the store. Aerosol cans were also found in the car.

Spanos is currently in the hospital. Police say they are going to charge Spanos when he is released.
