Fatal sledding accidents reported during winter storm weekend.
Two teenagers tragically lost their lives in separate sledding accidents during a massive winter storm that affected several states, resulting in power outages, dangerous road conditions, and flight cancellations. A 17-year-old boy in Arkansas and a 16-year-old girl in Texas were among the at least 13 weather-related deaths reported, as highlighted by the Associated Press. The storm brought deep snow over a 1,300-mile span from Arkansas to New England, leading to widespread school closures. In Texas, 16-year-old Elizabeth Angle passed away, and another 16-year-old was critically injured in a sledding accident. Witness accounts revealed that the accident occurred when a sled being towed by a Jeep hit a curb and then a tree. The efforts of officers to save the victims were in vain, and Angle ultimately succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. In Arkansas, a 17-year-old boy lost his life in a similar sledding incident when the inner tube he was riding struck a tree while being towed by a motor vehicle. The investigation into this tragic accident is ongoing, and authorities did not disclose further details surrounding the incident.
