Teen Text-Messaging Friend Runs Over Bicyclist

Highlands Ranch Man Dies

POSTED: 4:27 pm MST November 25, 2005
UPDATED: 5:48 pm MST November 25, 2005

A 63-year-old Highlands Ranch man died Friday from his injuries in a car-bicycle crash earlier this week.

The Douglas County sheriff's office has identified the man as Jim R. Price. Authorities say he was hit by a car while he was riding his bike Wednesday at Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Summit View Road.

Price was pronounced dead Friday morning at Swedish Medical Center.

The sheriff's office said the 17-year-old driver may have been text-messaging on his cell phone when he swerved into the bicycle lane. The driver's name hasn't been released. He is also from Highlands Ranch.

Authorities don't think the driver was speeding or that drugs or alcohol were involved. But they say it's likely that charges of careless driving resulting in death will be filed.

The driver of the vehicle was released to his parents at the scene.
