(November 10, 2008)—A one-car rollover early Saturday morning in Limestone County left one teenager dead and two others in hospitals.

The accident happened just before 1 a.m. Saturday on Limestone County Road 760.

Authorities said a car driven by Monty Allen Huffman-Thompson, 16, of Prairie Hill was traveling south at a high rate of speed just before 1 a.m. Saturday on Limestone County Road 760 when it rolled over after the driver failed to negotiate a right-hand curve.

Huffman-Thompson was ejected from the vehicle and died.

Two passengers, Karen David 19, and Aaron Martin, 15, were injured.

David was taken to Limestone Medical Center with injuries that authorities said were not life threatening.

Martin was more seriously injured and was flown by helicopter to Scott & White Hospital in Temple, authorities said.

Investigators estimated the vehicle was traveling at almost 60 miles per hour at the time of the accident.

The speed limit on the road is 30 miles per hour.

None of the teenagers was wearing a seatbelt, authorities said.

Graveside services for Huffman-Thompson are at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Waco Memorial Park.
