LHS Senior Cayliss Mothershed died Monday afternoon, Nov. 14, 2011, from injuries suffered when the car she was driving struck a concrete pillar that supports Hwy 77 on South Folsom Rd.
LHS senior Gia Ryles, a passenger in the car, was injured and taken to Bryan LGH West. Ryles is said to be in critical condition but expected to recover.
LHS track coach and social studies teacher Bob White visited Ryles this morning at the hospital and reported over a sound announcement that Ryles was in good spirits and described her internal injuries as minor with no plans for surgery at this point.
