Bowie man dies in Clay County accident
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.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
