(June 16, 2008)—A 5-year-old child who was ejected from an SUV that rolled over Monday morning on Interstate 35 was pronounced dead at the scene and a 59-year-old woman who was trapped in the wreckage was flown by helicopter to a local hospital with a severely lacerated foot.
The 28-year-old woman who was driving the SUV and five other children, ages 5 to 12, were taken by ambulance to Scott & White Hospital with less serious injuries.
The accident happened around 9 a.m. Monday in the northbound lanes of the Interstate in Troy, north of Temple.
Investigators said the driver of the SUV overcorrected in an attempt to avoid a collision and lost control of the vehicle.
The SUV veered off the highway and rolled several times.
Firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to free the 59-year-old woman who was trapped in the front passenger seat, police said.
Names of the victims were not immediately released, but investigators said the driver of the SUV was from Dallas.
