Jan 25, 2026
A 16-year-old-girl is dead and another is critically injured after a sledding accident in Frisco.
The accident happened around 2:30 p.m. Sunday when police received a call from an uninvolved party reporting the incident that happened in the area of Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court.
Pre
liminary investigations into the accident indicate that the two girls were on a sled being pulled by a Jeep Wrangler driven by a 16-year-old boy. Witnesses at the scene said the sled struck a curb and collided with a tree, according to police.
“It’s kind of shocking. I don’t know what they told their parents what they were doing but my neighbor who lives next door says he saw a Jeep pulling some kids on a sled and a few minutes later we saw six or four cop cars here, a bunch of caution tape and something bad had happened,” said neighbor Melissa Trevino.
When Frisco police and fire departments arrived, two 16-year-old girls were found with life-threatening injuries. After being administered life-saving aid at the scene, the two were taken to local hospitals, where one succumbed to her injuries and the other is currently in critical condition.
The incident is under investigation by the Frisco Police Department with support from the Denton County District Attorney’s Office. It’s unclear if charges will be filed.
Frisco ISD did not immediately respond to NBC 5’s request for comment.
