Averiee Osmundson, an 18-year-old high school senior from Davis, Oklahoma, was tragically killed in a rollover car accident just days before she was set to graduate and begin her college journey toward becoming a pediatrician.


The fatal crash occurred around 7:36 a.m. on Saturday, approximately two miles from her home. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), Osmundson was driving eastbound on Foothill Road, 0.4 miles west of U.S. Highway 777, when her SUV veered left off the road. After overcorrecting and reentering the roadway, the vehicle rolled an unknown number of times.


Authorities confirmed that Osmundson was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. She was ejected approximately 78 feet from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Osmundson was a senior at Davis High School and was scheduled to graduate this Thursday. She had earned a full-ride scholarship to Oklahoma State University and planned to study medicine with the goal of becoming a pediatrician.


“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,” said her cousin, Kegan Muth. “She was more than an 18-year-old graduating high school; she was a beautiful, young, talented girl.”


Her aunt, Cassie Muth, expressed heartbreak over the loss, saying she was in disbelief when she first heard the news. “She was only two miles from her house,” Muth said. “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.”

She was catapulted a shocking 78 feet from her vehicle in the horrific crash and was pronounced dead at the scene. OHP officials confirmed the teenager was not wearing a seatbelt at the time

Muth described Averiee as a loving, outgoing, and family-oriented young woman who could light up any room. “She could always just put a smile on everybody's face. She was very adventurous, very outgoing,” she said. “Don’t take life for granted. Make sure you hug your loved ones before they walk out the door because you never know if they’re coming back home.”


The Oklahoma community is mourning the loss of a promising young life cut short just before a major milestone. Friends, family, and classmates continue to honor her memory and the future she had so eagerly prepared for.
