A 4-year-old boy died after being ejected from a car in a Coleman County crash Friday, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a media release.
The crash happened at about 5:35 p.m. Monday at U.S. Highway 84 and County Road 464 in rain and wet road conditions, the DPS said. Michelle Warden Callisto, 27, of Burnet was driving a 2024 Nissan Versa with her two sons, a 4-year-old and a 3-year-old, in the backseat.
The passenger car was traveling south on the highway at a speed that was unsafe in wet road conditions, the DPS said. As a result, the driver veered west off the roadway, overturned and came to rest upright.
The 4-year-old was ejected from the car during the crash and died, the DPS said. Callisto suffered minor injuries.
A child died in a rollover crash Friday in Coleman County.
Both children “were reportedly secured in child passenger safety seats,” the DPS said Monday. The crash is undergoing further investigation.
The DPS did not release the names of the children in the media release as is the agency’s policy for victims who are minors. The DPS did not list the 3-year-old boy as injured.
