15-Year-Old Girl Dies After Crashing Parents' Car

Police Car and Lights

Police say a Williamson County teen who'd been reported missing is dead, after she crashed her parents' car on Shed Church Road.
Sheriff Bennie Vick says the 15-year old Creal Springs girl was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say her parents had reported her as a runaway just minutes before the crash.

The 911 call came in at about 9:25 Sunday night, saying that a car had crashed into some trees off of Shed Church Road, just east of Route 166. Authorities say the girl was still in the driver's seat when they arrived, but died as a result of massive injuries.
