A Bowie man was pronounced dead at the scene of a fatal two-vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon 3 miles north of Henrietta on northbound U.S. 287.
Trooper Dan Buesing, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said 65-year-old James Norman Scott was driving a 2008 Mazda SUV on northbound U.S. 287 when he went off the road where a driver of a 2001 BMW and his 13-year-old son were parked to use the phone.
The SUV hit the back of the BMW and both occupants of the BMW were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. United Regional Health Care System said Tuesday evening that the driver was in stable condition. Information about the teenage could not be released because he is a juvenile.
Buesing said the Texas Department of Public Safety was called out to a two-vehicle accident at about 2:50 p.m. between Jolly and Henrietta.

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.

Council takes no action on litigation issue

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.
