An 18-year-old set to attend college on a scholarship died in a rollover crash just days before her high school graduation, according to Oklahoma officials and news reports.

Averiee Osmundson was driving near Springer around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, May 10, when her SUV left the road, KOCO reported, citing an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report. She returned to the road, at which point her vehicle rolled over “an unknown amount of times.”

The 18-year-old, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown 78 feet from where authorities found her vehicle, KTEN reported. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Davis Public Schools said Osmundson was a senior at Davis High School, which has its graduation May 16, according to KOTV.

The school district said the student’s loss would be “deeply felt throughout” the community and senior class.

Osmundson’s aunt, Cassie Muth, told KOTV her niece had a full-ride scholarship to attended Oklahoma State University.

“I didn’t believe it. Couldn’t believe she was truly gone. Honestly, I’m still in disbelief that she’s been taken from us at such a young age with so much potential and a lot still ahead of her,” Muth told the station while describing her niece as being “very adventurous, very outgoing.”

In a statement to KOKH, Kegan Muth, Osmundson’s cousin, said the 18-year-old had plans to be a pediatrician because “all she ever wanted was to help the ones who needed the help.”

“Averiee wasn’t just a teenager in a car. She was someone’s daughter, someone’s first love, someone’s first baby, someone’s first little sister,” Kegan Muth said. “She was more than an 18-year-old graduating high school; she was a beautiful, young, talented girl.”

Springer is about a 90-mile drive southeast from Oklahoma City.
