Woman receives minor injuries when struck by vehicle
A 58-year-old Bowie woman received unknown injuries after she was struck by a vehicle Friday night in Bowie.
The incident occurred at 7:17 p.m. at State Highway 59 (Mason) and Wise during Sip & Stroll.
The police report states a GMC driven by Tera Posey, 28, Bowie, was northbound on Mason and making a left turn at the intersection with Wise when the vehicle struck Patricia Alford who was walking at the crossing at the same time.
The driver and pedestrian both told police they had a green light. The report states the driver’s vision was somewhat impaired by the front frame of the vehicle causing her not to be able to see the pedestrian until the collision.
Bowie EMS was called to the scene, but Alford reportedly went to the hospital by private vehicle with unknown injuries.
A crew from Scarborough Engineering was working on control termination wiring in the control room of the Bowie Substation last week. They were integrating additional equipment including the new transformer. Once everything is connected it will go through a testing phase. The transformer project has been stalled during the past year awaiting the arrival of various parts. (News photo by Barbara Green

After more than a year of turmoil and upheaval it appears the Amon Carter Lake Water Supply Corporation is back on its feet with a slate of new board members and plans to review by-laws and operations.
Last August all the board members resigned in the wake of a lawsuit by a resident who could not obtain water for a small housing development despite being in the district. The property owner also accused the board of not following open meetings or open records laws, or its own by-laws.
After the board resigned a receivership was requested from the court and was named in December 2025. The receiver or temporary manager was Nocona attorney Zach Renfro, who was directed by the court to seek out possible directors to rehabilitate the association and assure it meets the obligation of continuing to provide water to more than 300 members.
The corporation board conducted its first general membership meeting on March 27 where a state of the corporation was given and new directors
named. They are Kevin McShan, president; Josh Swint, vice president; Carla Swofford, secretary; Wesley Kelly, treasurer; Zach Gunter, Rob Hankins and Chase Thomas, all directors.
