David Tice, 18, Identified as Pedestrian Killed on Montgomery Highway

 Authorities have identified the pedestrian who was tragically killed Sunday evening on Montgomery Highway as David Tice, 18. The heartbreaking incident has left family, friends, co-workers, and members of the community mourning the sudden loss of a young life filled with promise.

According to Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd, the crash occurred around 7 p.m. in the 4800 block of Montgomery Highway. Tice had just finished his shift at LaParilla Mexican Restaurant and reportedly told co-workers he planned to walk to Walmart. While walking along the roadway, he was struck by a semi-truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators later indicated that Tice was walking back along Montgomery Highway when the collision occurred. The southbound lanes of the highway were closed for several hours as authorities responded, examined the scene, and redirected traffic through nearby shopping areas. The temporary closure caused significant traffic delays while law enforcement worked to gather evidence and ensure the area was safe.

The incident remains under active investigation as officials seek to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash, including visibility conditions, traffic patterns, and other contributing factors. Authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has relevant information to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.

Beyond the details of that tragic evening, David Tice is being remembered as a hardworking young man who had just completed a shift at his job before the accident occurred. At 18 years old, he stood at the beginning of adulthood, with goals, plans, and a future ahead of him. His sudden passing has deeply affected those who knew him, particularly co-workers who had spoken with him only moments before he left work.

As the community processes this loss, many are reflecting on the importance of road safety and awareness for both drivers and pedestrians. Friends and loved ones continue to share messages of support and remembrance, honoring David’s life and the impact he made in his short time.

The thoughts and prayers of the community remain with his family during this incredibly difficult time.
