A sledding-related accident in Frisco on Sunday afternoon left one teenage girl dead and another in critical condition, according to the Frisco Police Department.
Police said officers and firefighters responded to a call at approximately 2:26 p.m. on January 25, 2026, after an uninvolved caller reported an accident near the intersection of Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court in Frisco.
Upon arrival, first responders located two 16-year-old females who had suffered life-threatening injuries and immediately began administering life-saving measures. Both were transported to local hospitals. Police said one of the juveniles later died at the hospital, while the other remains in critical condition.
Because both victims are juveniles, authorities said no additional identifying information will be released.
Vehicle Pulled Sled, Police Say
According to preliminary findings, investigators believe a 16-year-old male was operating a Jeep Wrangler while pulling the two females on a sled. Witnesses reported that the sled struck a curb and then collided with a tree, police said.
The incident remains under active investigation, with assistance from the Denton County District Attorney’s Office.
