Ashton Pryor Car Accident: According to officials in Indiana, a high school softball star passed away when she was unable to manage her vehicle and crashed into a railing. According to a post made on Facebook by the Warrick County Sheriff’s Office, Ashton Pryor was behind the wheel of a 2008 Jeep Wrangler when she lost control of the vehicle on February 17, just before 7 a.m., and hit a guardrail, which caused her vehicle to roll over. She was pronounced dead at the scene. At the scene, the death of the 17-year-old was pronounced. According to a post that was made on Facebook by a friend, Peyton Pryor, Ashton’s younger sister who is 15 years old, was a passenger in the Jeep.
According to the sheriff, Peyton was transported to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. It is not thought that either drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident. According to the Courier & Press’s account, Pryor was an outstanding player on the softball team. She made the switch to pitcher during the spring of 2021 after playing third base on the Boonville High School team that won the Class 3A state championship in 2021.
According to what was posted on her Instagram, Pryor, who is currently a junior, had verbally agreed to attend Indiana State University to play softball there. In response to a request for comment made by McClatchy News, neither Boonville High School nor the athletics department at Indiana State University quickly provided a response. Through social media, friends, family, and people of the community shared their condolences and memories of Pryor.
“Today, our hearts are shattered. One of the posts on Facebook wrote, “Words can’t explain the sadness and devastation our softball family is feeling right now.” [Citation needed] “Ashton has so much personality and life in her!” A travel softball program known as Fusion wrote on its Facebook page, “There are no words to describe this loss, but they’re endless when it comes to your effect.” “Because of the way you handled yourself and the kind of person you were to the people around you, you are the kind of person that any company would love to have as a member of their family. Our fellow player. Our sister. Our familial unit” The Boonville High School softball team wrote on their Twitter account, “Our #12 will never be forgotten.” Around 100 miles to the west of Louisville, Kentucky, is where you’ll find Boonville.
