Multiple Wrecks in Wilkesboro on Tuesday

Tuesday was a bad day in Wilkesboro for wrecks.  The Wilkesboro Police investigated 4 wrecks on Tuesday.  Thankfully, no injuries were reported in either of the 4 bump-ups.  The day began at 7:55am with a 3 car pileup on Hwy 16 South.  Two cars were slowing for a light when a third car failed to slow and caused a domino effect accident.  Kelsie Driscoll of Taylorsville hit the back of 1998 Toyota which then hit the back of a 2010 Hyundai.  Damages ranged from 400 to 4000 dollars.  Driscoll was charged with failure to reduce speed.  Then in the afternoon, a North Wilkesboro woman bumped into a parked car in the US Cellular parking lot.  Damages were minimal and no charges were listed.  Two hours later, two cars collided on Hwy 421 Business when one car slowed to yield for traffic.  Again damages were minor and no charges were filed.  And finally just before 7pm in the Walmart parking lot, a Wilkesboro woman oversteered and swiped her 2004 Cadillac against a pole.  Damages in this one-car wreck exceeded 5000 dollars.  The driver, Donna Harris, was charged with unsafe movement.  So at the end of the day and after 4 wrecks involving 8 cars, there was thousands of dollars in property damages, but no one was seriously injured.  Only one complained of leg pain but refused EMS.
