When deputies arrived, they found a 2011 silver Volkswagen Jetta hit a tree.
“Deputies learned the silver Volkswagen traveled northbound on Welch Road when it traveled off the right side of the roadway,” said Sheriff Hafey. “The Volkswagen then slid through wet grass and traveled northeast before it struck the tree.”
The sheriff’s office identified the driver as Kyla Caudy, 18. Medics transported her to a hospital, where she later died.
Her passenger, 19-year-old Ciara Rehahn, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
