Quitman ISD student killed in rollover wreck

By Scott Harvey

– A 15-year old girl has died after her school SUV flipped near canton. The girl and five other future farmer of America kids from Quitman were heading to San Antonio.

"Preliminary investigations show that the suburban ran off the west side of the roadway, and that the driver over corrected back to the left," says Trooper Jean Dark.

Dark says the suburban then flipped into a ditch, ejecting Skyler Carpenter.

There were five other students in the van, three were hospitalized and one is in serious condition. There's no word on the condition of the teacher who was driving.
