RADFORD – A Radford teenager has died as the result of a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon.
Michael Lee Price, 19, was killed when his motorcycle collided with a pick-up truck.
According to the Radford City Police Department, “at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Friday, April 18, 2025, officers from the Radford City Police Department responded to a report of a motorcycle accident at the intersection of East Main Street and High Meadows Parkway.”
“The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2012 Kawasaki motorcycle, operated by 19-year-old Michael Price, was traveling westbound on East Main Street when a 2021 Ram pickup pulling a small utility trailer, was traveling eastbound on the same road,” the department announced. “The truck attempted to make a left turn onto High Meadows Parkway when the motorcycle collided with the trailer. As a result of the collision, Price was thrown from the motorcycle. Radford Fire and Rescue arrived on the scene and provided immediate first aid before transporting Price to Carilion New River Valley Medical Center. Tragically, he was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.”
The Radford City Police Department, with assistance from the New River Valley Regional Traffic Crash Reconstruction Team consisting of Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Christiansburg Police Department, and Blacksburg Police Department, are actively investigating the crash.
In his obituary, Price was described as someone who “lived to hunt, fish, ride motorcycles and spend time with his family. He was a devoted son, grandson, brother, nephew, boyfriend and friend, and will be sorely missed by anyone that knew him.”
