A one-vehicle accident resulted in the death of a child Sunday near Hedley on US 287.
Texas Department of Public Safety representative Cindy Barkley said the accident occurred at approximately 2:44 p.m. when Amanda Moore, 35 of Amarillo, was driving a 2007 GMC Yukon, towing a 1996 Komfort travel trailer west on US 287, approximately two miles east of Hedley.
The travel trailer began to sway back and forth behind the Tahoe; and when Moore applied the brakes, she lost control.
The Tahoe and the travel trailer rolled over multiple times, ejecting an unrestrained 11-year-old-male child, who died on scene.
Moore and two other passengers – a 16-year-old-female and a 12-year-old-male – all received minor injuries. They were wearing seatbelts.
Barkley said the road conditions were dry and there were no other vehicles involved. The crash is still under investigation.
