Did a dangerous prank result in the car death of a Houston teen?

A group of six teens from Waltrip High School were allegedly shooting pellets from air-soft guns at vehicles in a northwest Houston suburb over the weekend when they caused a serious accident that killed one of them.

The teens were driving in a Nissan Xterra in the early afternoon on Saturday when the accident occurred.  The driver of the vehicle ran a stop sign at the intersection of Overhill and Oak Forest Drive and hit a Saturn Outlook.

The force of the impact sent the Outlook up a nearby driveway, causing it to crash into a home.  The Xterra hit a curb and slid into the front yard of another home.  It then turned over and continued to slide, flipping once more before coming to a rest.

One occupant of the Xterra was thrown from the vehicle.  He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he died from his injuries.  Four other teens from the Xterra were also taken to Ben Taub; no word on their condition.

No occupants of the Outlook were injured in the crash.
