The family of teenager Dylan Price, who was found dead on a road in Bishops Castle have today appealed to the public to provide the police with any information they may have that will help their investigation into his death.
The 17-year-old died a month ago today, on Sunday 19 September, on the B4385 Brampton Road in Bishops Castle, Shropshire. Police officers and the West Midlands Ambulance Service attended the scene but the young man had sadly died.
A post-mortem examination revealed injuries consistent with a collision with a vehicle.
Izzy Price, Dylan’s sister, said: “As a family we are all just really struggling. We can’t come to terms with any of it, and we would love some information to help us get past this.
“None of us can drive down that road the same way we used to; just any information would really help. If you know anything just please come forward.”
