In addition to Kaylee, two other people were in the vehicle. The driver, a 19-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment. Police said he suffered non-life-threatening injuries. A second passenger refused medical attention at the scene. Kaylee Hottle, who was from Kyle, Texas, was rescued, but succumbed to her injuries. The case remains under investigation.
