It’s been two years since Shropshire teenage Dylan Price was killed as he made his way home following a party.

The 17-year-old was found dead on the B4385 Brampton Road in Bishops Castle, Shropshire after being struck by a vehicle in the early hours on Sunday 19 September, 2021.

Dylan’s family along with detectives, are once again asking the public to please contact them if they have any information regarding the circumstances which led to his death.

No one has yet been charged with Dylan’s death and investigations continue.

Lousie Bristow, Dylan’s mum, said: “The not knowing is just heart breaking, it’s still there every day.

“Somebody knows something, just tell us, if it is somebody you know, surely getting it out there would be so much easier, because living with the guilt for two years must be absolutely horrendous.

“We know it was an accident and we just want answers.”

Officers continue to appeal for anyone who may have driven or walked along Brampton Road between 1am and 5.30am on Sunday 19 September, 2021 to please get in touch.
