Three young brothers died during a winter storm in Texas after falling into an icy pond when one of the children got into trouble and the others tried to help, according to authorities and family accounts.
The victims, all elementary school students, got into difficulty in a frozen pond in Bonham, a city about 60 miles northeast of Dallas, triggering a desperate effort by their mother and a neighbor to save them, killed in a sledding accident, authorities said.
Angle, a sophomore and soccer player, and another teenage girl were being pulled on a sled by a 16-year-old boy driving a Jeep when the sled hit a curb and crashed into a tree, police said. Angle died at the scene.
The second girl remained on life support.
Police said the investigation remains active. The department warned citizens that snow and ice can create extremely slippery surfaces and lead to serious or even deadly accidents.
A winter storm brought heavy snow and crippling ice to large swaths of the nation, including Texas, over the weekend. Most areas in North Texas were covered in ice, sleet and snow, creating hazardous conditions.
