APOPKA (CBSMiami/AP) — A teen girl locked in an argument with her mom was killed after she refused to get back in the family car.

Trinity Bachmann, 13, was angry about who would get to sit in the front seat as her mother drove home from the Central Florida Fair in Orlando on Saturday night, according to the Apopka police.

Police say 36-year-old Janice Pedroza dropped off one of the friends before the argument broke out.

Bachmann got out of the car and sat down on a dimly lit stretch of road. Her mother pleaded with her to get back in the car, but she refused. A passing car hit them, killing the teen and injuring her mother.
