The other two drivers were taken to local hospitals for treatment, police said.
Police said the cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no summonses were issued Wednesday, but a preliminary investigation indicates speed appears to have been a factor.
Around 6:10 p.m. the 17-year-old - whose name was not released - was driving a 2006 Chrysler 300 eastbound on Newman Springs Road when he lost control of the car and struck a small curb that divides the two sides of the road near Hance Avenue, police said.
The Chrysler crossed into the westbound lanes, where it collided with a 1997 Toyota Avalon driven by Dimicelli and a 2006 Honda, driven by Amy Honig, 37, of the Lincroft section of Middletown, said Trevena.
Then the Chrysler overturned and slid back into the eastbound lane, he said.
Honig was taken to Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank and the boy was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Anyone who witnessed the accident or has any information about it is asked to call traffic safety Sgt. David Scrivanic at (732) 542-3400, Ext. 291.
