Bowie man seriously injured in truck crash
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.
After a year of renovations Nelson Street at Mill was reopened today to traffic. Nearly $3 million in repairs were made to this area to repair major drainage issues. A Bowie police vehicle came along and was the first vehicle to roll through after city staff and council members removed the barricades. (Photo by Barbara Green)
Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
