Jeep towing sled incident in Texas (Late January 2026)
If you’ve been following the latest news in the past few days, it could be about the accident in Frisco, Texas.
Details: A 16-year-old teenage boy was driving a Jeep Wrangler pulling two 16-year-old girls on a sled on an icy road.
Events: Because the Jeep accelerated too quickly on the slippery road, the sled lost control, crashed into the roadside, and slammed into a tree trunk.
Consequences: A female student named Elizabeth Angle died, while the other girl (named Grace) is in critical condition and is being kept alive with medical equipment.
Witnesses: Neighbors said they heard the screams of the two girls as the Jeep sped around the corner before the collision occurred. Police are currently investigating and have not yet decided whether to arrest the driver.
FRISCO, Texas (Gray News) — A second teenager has died following a tragic sledding accident in Texas that also claimed the life of her best friend.
The Frisco Police Department confirmed Wednesday that the second teenager died of her injuries at the hospital. KTVT identified her as 16-year-old Grace Brito.
KTVT reported that Grace’s best friend, 16-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzie” Angle, died first in the crash.
Tracy Brito, Grace’s mother, told KTVT that Grace and Lizzie were inseparable.
The tragic accident happened Sunday afternoon.
Police said a 16-year-old boy was driving a Jeep Wrangler that was pulling the two 16-year-old girls on a sled through a neighborhood. Witnesses told investigators the sled hit a curb and collided with a tree.
Responding officers found both girls with life-threatening injuries and began lifesaving measures. They were taken to the hospital, but both died.
Mark Fischer, who lives in the neighborhood, told KTVT he saw the teenagers sledding before the incident.
“The Jeep got accelerated really quickly, and the girls started screaming. I don’t know if it was from having fun or what. Then, I lost sight of them as they kind of came around the corner, and that was the last I heard,” Fischer said. “From what I saw, the acceleration, especially when it’s ice like this… to be going that fast, a sled can’t stop.”
In a Facebook post, Frisco police said no alcohol was involved in the crash.
“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,” police wrote. “Please be mindful of sharing unverified information, as it can add unnecessary pain to those grieving.”
Police have not said whether the 16-year-old driver will face criminal charges. The investigation is ongoing in collaboration with the Denton County District Attorney’s Office.
“This tragedy serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by winter weather conditions,” police said. “For your safety, please keep in mind that snow and ice can create extremely slippery surfaces and lead to serious or even deadly accidents. Stay alert, stay indoors when possible, and avoid any unnecessary outdoor activity until conditions improve.”
