“Behind the Lens: 10 Fateful Seconds That Shocked All of Texas and the Heartbreak of Those Left Behind.”
When the prosecutor released the CCTV footage from inside the Jeep, the courtroom fell silent. Those brief ten seconds capturing the moments before the tragedy became the focal point of the case. For the victims’ families, each frame felt like a knife to the heart, yet they chose to face it to seek justice for the children who would never celebrate their 17th birthday.
A North Texas family and community are mourning after a sledding accident left a 16-year-old girl dead and another teen critically injured Sunday.
According to the Frisco Police Department, at about 2:30 p.m., officers were called to the incident in the area of Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court. When they arrived, officers found two 16-year-old girls suffering from life-threatening injuries and immediately began life-saving measures.
Police said a 16-year-old boy was driving a Jeep Wrangler and pulling the two girls on a sled. Witnesses told officers that the sled struck a curb and hit a tree.
The two girls were transported to the hospital, where one later died of her injuries.
The victim’s parents identified her as Elizabeth Angle. They told CBS News Texas that the other teen who suffered injuries was Angle’s best friend, Grace, who remains on life support.
Angle’s parents said she was their middle child, leaving behind two sisters aged 18 and 12.
They said Angle was loved by everyone, a kind spirit, outgoing and magnetic.
They also shared that she had recently earned her driver’s license and was excited about the future ahead of her.
Angle’s school shared those sentiments. She was a sophomore at Wakeland High School in Frisco, and in a letter to parents, school officials said the teen was a soccer player who was “well-liked by peers and teachers.”
School officials said Angle will be honored during the 2nd period when classes resume after being closed due to icy roads following this past weekend’s winter storm. Also, counseling will be available if needed for students and staff.
“Our entire campus community is impacted by this tragedy,” the school said.
Angle’s club soccer coach, Luis Ramos, described her as a natural leader and a source of light for her teammates.
“As a coach, she was just blowing me away,” Ramos said. “She was a natural leader. She was more than a friend to our teammates. She leaves a lot of sisters behind.”
Ramos, who is currently in Puerto Rico, said he planted a tamarind tree in Angle’s honor and is working with the community to establish a soccer scholarship in her name.
Through their grief, the family said they hope their daughter’s death serves as a reminder about the dangers of sledding behind vehicles — even in quiet neighborhoods.
They are urging parents and children to take safety seriously, saying what may seem like harmless winter fun can turn tragic in an instant.
Frisco PD said the investigation into the accident is ongoing with support from the Denton County District Attorney’s Office. Anyone with information regarding this incident is requested to contact the Frisco Police Department at 972-292-6010. No arrests have been made.
