Overview
- Police say a 16-year-old boy was driving a Jeep Wrangler towing two girls on a sled when it hit a curb during a turn and collided with a tree near Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court.
- First responders arrived just before 2:30 p.m., performed life-saving measures, and both teens were taken to hospitals, where Elizabeth Angle died and her friend remains on life support.
- No arrests have been announced, and investigators are seeking witnesses and tips as the inquiry continues with the district attorney’s office.
- Angle, 16, was a Wakeland High School sophomore and FC Dallas club soccer player, and the school plans a tribute with counseling available for students and staff.
- The crash occurred on icy conditions from a winter storm, and local pediatric centers reported dozens of sledding-related injuries, prompting warnings not to tow sleds behind vehicles.
