EDINBURG - A family is mourning the loss of their 18-year-old daughter, after she was killed in a rollover late Friday night.

Deidra Romero died after being thrown from a pickup truck.

Investigators say the Romero's 19-year-old boyfriend lost control, hit a fence, and rolled over on FM 490, just west of FM 493 near Hargill.

The 19-year-old man is said to be recovering from injuries at home.

"She was an organ donor. We did donate her organs. She will live on in other people," they say.
