An 82-year-old Bowie man was seriously injured after he drove his pickup through a fence and ran into a portable building located behind the junior high school at Mill and Pecan last Friday afternoon.
The accident occurred at 4:26 p.m. in the 400 block of North Mill and East Pecan. Terry Haralson, Bowie, was driving a Ford F150 pickup east on Pecan. The preliminary police report states he failed to stop at the intersection of East Pecan and Mill, driving into the junior high property striking a chain link fence, narrowly missing a large gas meter before striking a portable building at the back of BJH. Haralson was transported by Bowie EMS to the Bowie Emergency Room, and later airlifted to John Peter Smith where Monday he was in critical condition with multiple fractures and injuries.
