A pair of 16-year-old girls died after witnesses say they struck a tree while being pulled on a sled by a driver in a Jeep Wrangler, police said.
A Texas city is mourning the death of a pair of teen best friends who were killed in a sledding incident during the recent snowstorm.
The Frisco Police Department said Jan. 28 that a second girl died in the hospital from her injuries after her friend had been killed when the two were involved in a sledding accident on Jan. 25.
The girls were identified by relatives as 16-year-olds Grace “Gracie” Brito and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Angle, who were sophomores at Frisco Wakeland High School.
Police received a call at 2:26 p.m. on Jan. 25 about an accident in the area of Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court in Frisco and found two females with life-threatening injuries. They were transported to local hospitals where both ultimately succumbed to their injuries.
A preliminary investigation found that a 16-year-old male was operating a Jeep Wrangler while pulling the two females on a sled, police said. Witnesses reported the sled struck a curb and collided with a tree.
“We also want to clarify rumors circulating online, throughout this entire investigation, there has been no indication of alcohol involvement by any of the involved parties,” the Frisco Police Department said in a statement Jan. 28. “Please be mindful of sharing unverified information, as it can add unnecessary pain to those grieving. Frisco PD will continue to work closely with the Denton County District Attorney’s Office related to the investigation and determine the appropriate path forward.”
Angle’s parents, Megan and Brian Angle, shared the tragic news on Facebook, reported by NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
“It is with deep despair and utter shock that Brian and I announce the passing of our beautiful 16 year old girl, Elizabeth Marie Angle,” Megan Angle wrote. “She was a bright light, a fun spirit, a brave soul. We loved her so much. She just got a car and a license and had her whole life ahead of her.
