Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The serene beauty of the Silver Lake State Park Sand Dunes in Golden Township, Michigan, was shattered by a devastating incident on Sunday morning. The Oceana County Sheriff’s Office reported a fatal dune accident that resulted in the untimely death of 33-year-old Kadie Price from Pierson, Michigan.
The tragic event took place at approximately 11:37 a.m. in the popular “Drag Strip” area of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, specifically in the Vehicle Scramble Area. According to the official statement released by the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office, Kadie Price and her family were outside their vehicle, enjoying the adrenaline-fueled action at the Drag Strip.
On the above listed time and date, Kadie Price and her family were outside of their vehicle to watch the action at the Drag Strip on the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. While they were watching, a Jeep CJ was racing North bound on the drag strip. As the Jeep accelerated rapidly, it lost control. When the Jeep lost control, it veered off the drag strip towards where the Price family was watching. The Jeep struck the Price’s family vehicle, which then struck Kadie. Just prior to her being struck she was able to push her 2-year-old daughter out of harm’s way, very likely saving her daughter from serious injury or worse.
Several bystanders attempted to assist Kadie, as did Oceana County Deputies, Silver Lake State Park Rangers, and staff. First aid was unfortunately unsuccessful. Kadie Price did pass away from her injuries sustained during this crash. The investigation is open and will continue.

As the community mourns the loss of Kadie Price, the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office has urged West Michigan residents to keep the Price family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
