Braxton Tucker Frisco, Texas — A serious sledding accident that claimed the lives of two 16‑year‑old girls has led to criminal charges against Braxton Tucker, a teenager who was driving the vehicle involved in the incident.
Frisco Police confirmed that the deadly accident occurred when a Jeep Wrangler, driven by Tucker, was towing a sled carrying two female teens during winter weather conditions. The sled struck a curb and then collided with a tree, resulting in the deaths of both Elizabeth Angle and Grace Brito, classmates and close friends from Wakeland High School. The crash unfolded amid hazardous icy conditions present during a severe winter storm that affected the region.
Following the incident, authorities and the Denton County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the circumstances of the crash. Based on evidence gathered during the ongoing investigation, Tucker has been formally charged with manslaughter in connection with the deaths of the two girls. The charges reflect allegations that his handling of the vehicle while towing the sled — under dangerous conditions — contributed directly to the fatal outcome.
Frisco law enforcement has expressed condolences to the families and the broader community, noting the devastating impact of the accident on students, parents, and residents. School officials have also arranged grief support services for students and staff affected by the tragedy.
The case remains under active investigation, and prosecutors are expected to outline the specific legal basis for the manslaughter charge as it moves through the juvenile and criminal justice systems. — End of Report
