Elizabeth Angle – A North Texas community is grieving after a sledding accident left a 16-year-old girl dead and another teen seriously injured on Sunday. According to the Frisco Police Department, officers responded around 2:30 p.m. to the area of Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court following reports of a sledding accident. Upon arrival, police found two 16-year-old girls with life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders immediately provided medical attention and transported both teens to a local hospital. Tragically, one of the girls later died from her injuries.
The deceased teen has been identified by her parents as Elizabeth Angle. Her parents shared that the other teen injured in the incident is Angle’s best friend, Grace, who remains on life support. Elizabeth Angle was the middle child in her family, leaving behind two sisters aged 18 and 12. Her parents described her as a kind, outgoing, and magnetic young woman who was loved by everyone who knew her.
Elizabeth was a sophomore at Wakeland High School in Frisco, where she was also a member of the school soccer team. School officials shared that she was well-liked by both peers and teachers and that her loss has deeply affected the entire campus community. The school announced plans to honor her memory during the second period when classes resume after being closed due to icy road conditions over the weekend. Counseling services will be made available for students and staff who may need support during this difficult time.
Frisco Police Department said the accident involved a 16-year-old boy driving a Jeep Wrangler while pulling the two girls on a sled. Witnesses reported that the sled struck a curb and then collided with a tree. The accident is under investigation, with support from the Denton County District Attorney’s Office. Authorities emphasized that no arrests have been made and are requesting anyone with information about the incident to contact the Frisco Police Department.
This tragic accident has had a profound impact on the local community. Family, friends, classmates, and neighbors are coming together to support one another while grieving the loss of a young life.
