BROWNWOOD, TX — A GoFundMe has been created for Peyton Mueller, the 19-year-old Brownwood woman seriously injured in a sledding crash Sunday.
According to the GoFundMe page, Mueller “has a long road ahead as she recovers from a life changing injury from a traumatic accident.”
Mueller, who is a freshman goalkeeper on Howard Payne University’s soccer team, attended high school at Tomball Memorial near Houston.
She was enjoying a snow day Sunday in Brownwood and was one of numerous people taking turns being pulled behind a pickup truck on a pallet sled in the parking lot of Gordon Wood Stadium.
When the driver lost control of his truck, however, it caused Mueller to crash under a parked truck with “great speed,” police said.
Emergency crews were called to the stadium, where the woman suffered “serious injuries.”
The driver, Jayden Michael Garcia, who is also 19, was interviewed by police and charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and booked into Brown County Jail.
Mueller's GoFundMe page has raised more than $11,000 toward a $100,000 goal to assist with her medical expenses.
