Anderson County - A 17-year-old teenage mother has died following a freak accident in Belton, England.

According to Anderson County Coroner’s Office, two high school students were involved in a crash in Belton Tuesday morning.

How did the Belton accident happen?

Abbigail 'Grace' Callaham and her boyfriend, Thomas Kennedy, had left Belton-Honea Path High School early to pick up their four-month-old child from a daycare when the accident happened.

A preliminary investigation indicates that a 'large bird' flew out of the woods and into the car's windshield on Clamp Drive along Ernest Lane.

Due to the impact, Kennedy lost control of the vehicle and ran off the right side of the highway, where he hit a tree

Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said Callaham was not wearing a seat belt at the time, and was pinned to her seat by the tree. She was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries.

Her relatives rushed to the scene and were deeply heartbroken by the tragic incident.

“Her dad was grief-stricken. Abbigail’s 12-year-old sister was also on the scene. It just breaks our hearts to see them suffering like that. It’s just a tragedy," Shore said as reported by Daily Mail.
