A Northern Lehigh High School athlete was fatally injured Thursday when her car crashed into a tree in Washington Township, Lehigh County, state police and a county official said.

Mallory Bomboy, 18, of 6235 Ventura Court in the township, died at 5:36 p.m. at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, said Paul Hoffman, Lehigh County first deputy coroner. He said his office ruled she died as a result of blunt force trauma to her head and chest.

The 5 p.m. crash happened 51/2 miles from her home.

Bomboy was driving south on Rextown Road at William Circle when she lost control at a curve, said state police at Bethlehem. She tried to regain control, but the car crossed the road and the driver's side smashed into a tree.

She was flown by helicopter to the hospital, where she was dead on arrival, police said.

Her father, Timothy Bomboy, said he was at the high school in Slatington waiting for his daughter to show up for softball practice when someone told him there had been an accident nearby. He tried to call Mallory but couldn't reach her, he said.

He rushed to the scene of the crash, where police told him his daughter had been flown away. He later learned she died, he said.

''She was my daughter. She was a lovely girl,'' he said. ''She was tall and beautiful and athletic and friendly.''
