The Bowie community is mourning the shocking death of a local athlete and student who was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday evening.
The accident occurred at 5:05 p.m. on State Highway 59 North where Mill Street merges with 59. Department of Public Safety officials said Colby Price, driving a 1999 Chevrolet pickup was southbound on Hwy. 59 and was stopped in the left turn lane to Mill.
The 1985 Kenworth dump truck driven by Jonathan Logan of Bowie was northbound on Hwy. 59. Public Information Trooper Dan Buesing stated Price failed to yield right-of-way turning in front of the dump truck, basically colliding head-on causing major damage to the pickup. Buesing said Price for “unknown reasons” may not have seen the truck when they collided.

He is the son of Cody and Lory Price, and Christy Price. He was a junior at Bowie High School where he played varsity football, and competed in power lifting and track.
