UPATED- March 31
Bowie Police report the accident occurred at 2:15 on March 27 at Mill and Wise. Officer Cody Stone investigated. Kimberly Gall, 41, Nocona, was driving a Hyundai west on Wise. A second vehicle, a Chevy pickup driven by Virgil Hutson, 73, Nocona, was west on Wise with a third vehicle, a Toyota Corolla driven by Frankie Pair J., 42, Bowie, also going west on Wise. Stone said Hutson turned north onto Mill on an unprotected green light. As Gall entered the intersection her vehicle made contact with the passenger side of Hutson’s vehicle causing it to spin 180 degrees into a parking lot of a business and then back onto Wise where it stuck the back passenger door of the third vehicle. Gall reported leg pain but refused treatment at the scene. No other injuries were reported. A crosswalk signal was knocked down as the truck spun into the lot.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.

No action was taken on a legal issue after members of the Bowie City Council met in a called closed session at 4 p.m. on July 12.
City Secretary Sandy Page said the council met for almost one hour for “consultation with attorney – Midwest Waste Services LLC vs. City of Bowie.
This lawsuit goes back to August 2019 when Midwest sued the city for its action requiring those who receive city water outside the city limits to use the designated waste collector, which is Waste Connections. This was shortly after the city signed a new long-term contract with WC.
The suit was dismissed in June 2020 on two points in the suit, but City Manager Bert Cunningham said a third point remained in mediation.
