On Saturday, August 19, 2017, the Complainant, a teenager named Lily Haugen was a passenger of a 2008, Volkswagen Jetta that was traveling westbound through the 17600 block of Queenslake Drive. The Operator of the Jetta, a teenager named Jenna Ellsmore was driving at a high rate of speed. The Operator lost control of the vehicle rotated clockwise and left the roadway to the north. The Operator attempted to re-enter the roadway causing the vehicle to rotate counter clockwise. As the vehicle rotated counter clockwise the vehicle struck a tree. The vehicle then rolled onto its roof continuing to travel west and struck a concrete culvert, on the east side of the driveway. After striking the culvert the vehicle slid across the driveway before coming to rest right side up on the west side of the driveway. The Complainant died on scene. The Operator was transported to by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann in critical condition. This case remains under investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Vehicular Crimes Division.
