Flower Mound, Texas — The quiet Tuesday afternoon in a suburban neighborhood shattered into grief when 14‑year‑old Isha Mishra, a freshman at Marcus Ninth Grade Campus, was killed after being struck by a pickup truck near the intersection of Valley Ridge Boulevard and Browning Drive.
Just before 4 p.m., officers with Flower Mound Police Department responded to reports of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. On arrival, they found the young girl critically injured. Emergency crews from the Flower Mound Fire Department rushed her to Medical City Denton, but she later died. The heart‑wrenching loss was confirmed by the county’s medical examiner.
Authorities say the driver — a 60‑year‑old from Lewisville — was stopped at a stop sign in the 6000 block of Browning Drive. As Isha began crossing the street, the pickup struck her. The driver was not hurt, remained at the scene, and fully cooperated with police investigators.
