Teenage girl dies from injuries suffered in motorcycle accident

A 16-year-old girl died from the serious injuries she suffered in a motorcycle accident earlier this week.

 

The accident took place at around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday, about 6 miles east of Temple, Texas. The victim, Stephanie Ann Wingard, was the passenger on a motorcycle being driven by 20-year-old David Lavon Miller.

 

Miller was traveling westbound on FM 3369 when he veered into the eastbound lane while rounding a curve in the road. Miller swerved back into his own lane upon spotting an oncoming vehicle, but he lost control of his motorcycle. He left the road and drove into a ditch, hitting a culvert. Both riders were ejected upon impact. Miller was wearing a helmet; Wingard was not.

 

Miller suffered only minor injuries.
