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