Conroe Teen Killed In Rollover Crash

CONROE, TX -- A Conroe teen was killed in a crash Sunday night when the car he was riding in lost control on Old Highway 105 and smashed into a tree. Sonny Saxon, 17, was driving his 1988 Nissan about 10 p.m. with his friend, Joseph Wagnon, 17.

Saxon lost control as he rounded a curve, sideswiped a tree and flipped over, trapping Wagnon inside the car, according to police.

A driver on his way to work saw the crash and called 911. Fire and EMS arrived minutes later and were able to remove Wagnon, who was unresponsive, from the car.

EMS began CPR on Wagnon, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies from the Texas Department of Public Safety took Saxon, who was not injured in the crash, to Conroe Regional Medical Center for a mandatory blood draw to determine if he was intoxicated. The results of the blood draw were negative, according to police.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
