Texas High School Student Killed in Cycling Accident
A Tragic Ending
Recently, a 17-year-old high school junior that attended Keene ISD Wanda R. Smith High School was hit and killed in a cycling accident. The teenager was struck at about 9:25 p.m. one evening when she was riding through an intersection. Following the crash, the teenager was airlifted to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital and died at 11:55 p.m., just two and a half hours following the initial crash.
Unfortunately, this accident is not unique. There have been two other pedestrian and auto accidents in this same area just within the past few months, both involving children.
