Another teen dies in sledding accident as winter storms persist

  • On Thursday, Ponder Independent School District announced the passing of 17-year-old senior Caden Nowicki after a sledding injury in Denton County earlier this week.
  • As snow and icy conditions spread, officials warned about vehicle-towed improvised sledding dangers after two 16-year-old Frisco students, Elizabeth Angle and Grace Brito, died last week.
  • At about 2:25 p.m. Monday in the 400 block of Amyz Hill Road, DPS said a kayak being towed behind an ATV left the roadway, ejecting Nowicki into a fence; Jackson Long and Austin Erickson were not injured.
  • Ryan Thomas, public information officer, offered condolences, saying, `Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones affected by this heartbreaking event`; the district is collecting food gift cards to support Nowicki's family.
  • The cluster of sledding fatalities this winter underscores a regional safety issue as Nowicki's death came just days after two other teens were killed in the same winter storm and an Arkansas 17-year-old died after being pulled by an ATV.
