WILLS POINT - A Wills Point teenager has died after she was reportedly dragged by her horse.

18-year-old Cheyenne Nicole Ramirez was said to be working cattle when the horse was spooked and took off with Cheyenne’s spur stuck in the reins.  KLTV-TV reports she was dragged nearly half a mile before she could get loose.

Officials say she died Tuesday at a Tyler hospital.
