AZLE, Texas - A high school student was killed in an accident just north of Highway 199 on Boyd Road in Azle Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses said a 17-year-old Azle High School senior was a passenger in a car with his older brother who worked at the Chicken Espress.
The pair were turning into the restaurant when they were hit by an oncoming truck. The teen was trapped inside the car and died at the scene, witnesses said.
The brother and the driver of the truck were reportedly taken to nearby hospitals.
It has been an emotional week for everyone in the Azle Independent School District. On Tuesday night a seventh grade football player was revived during a game after his heart stopped.
District officials said counselors would be on campus Friday morning to provide students with support.
