hospital after Saturday wreck
Rhonda Griffin
Candice Walker of Evergreen is
in serious condition in Chapel Hill after a
collision on Saturday morning at the intersection of
Hwy. 701 and the 87 Bypass, Trooper J.M. Kinlaw of
the N.C. Highway Patrol said Monday morning.
Walker was driving her 1999
Oldsmobile north on Hwy. 701 when a 2004 Chrysler
minivan, driven by David Allen Mitchell of Parkton,
ran a red light heading east on Hwy. 87. The front
of the van struck the passenger door of the car in a
T-bone type collision, Kinlaw said.
Walker was airlifted from the
scene by a helicopter that landed on the bypass and
was taken to Chapel Hill, Kinlaw said. Two others
were reportedly transported to Cape Fear
Valley/Bladen County Hospital for treatment.
Mitchell was charged with a red
light violation, Kinlaw said.
The trooper added that he spoke
with Walker's father Saturday afternoon, who
reported that the woman had suffered serious
injuries but is stable.
Elizabethtown Station 55,
Elizabethtown Rescue Squad, Bladen County EMS and
Elizabethtown Police Department also responded to
the call.
