The Union County Sheriff's Office said crash happened just after 3:15 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of U.S. Route 33, southeast of U.S. Route 42.
When deputies arrived, they found the truck about 70 yards from the south side of the road.
The sheriff's office said one of the teens was driving eastbound, lost control and drove off the right side of the road.
Deputies said the truck hit a fence and several trees before coming to rest in a ditch.
