The accident happened on Victoria Road south of Expressway 83 on Tuesday night.

Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) state troopers are investigating the accident.

State troopers said the teen's car was involved in a rollover accident and plunged into a canal.

Paramedics took both the 15-year-old driver and the 15-year-old passenger to the Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco.
