The reporter on street stated that they received several calls about a collision on northbound 95. She stated highway patrol stated it was within a 3-4 mile ranges based on the phone calls. She also said at the end of her broadcast that they said 3-4 miles is too much to investigate thoroughly.
She did NOT; she said that that area ALWAYS has accidents where people call in and say there's an accident near Rocky Mount and that THAT is a three to four mile distance and so it's hard to figure out where people are talking about.
They got ONE call........which is exactly what the WRAL reporter said.
From the WRAL report:
Last week, Nash County 911 Communications had notified the Highway Patrol of a traffic collision near the location where the vehicle was recovered, but emergency personnel were never able to locate a collision at the location or see any debris, the Highway Patrol said.
"A lot of times, these accidents are given out on I-95 in the northbound lane, and it could be a three- or four-mile stretch," Stone said.
BTW, there was NO collision; it was a single car accident.
Lots of damage to the left front of the car.
So WRAL is the only source of correct information? Are you from North Korea?
Interesting how you now know that is wasn't a collision that is what a single car accident. They have not determined that yet. The reason I stated collision is because of the original 911 information - read what you typed and you will clearly see the word collision.
Are you related to Bray?
I think a lot of confusion is caused when a witness doesn't know how to tell where they are on I-95 because they are ignorant of the Mile Marker signs. No one ever explains that to drivers here, and it isn't a question on the driver's license tests. If a witness says "between mile markers 168 and 169 on Northbound I-95, it at least tells someone where they are within a one-mile stretch. I would venture to guess that most people have no idea why those markers are on the highways here.
I know at one time a "Good Samaritan" law required people to stop and give assistance. I would imagine that isn't a requirement in North Carolina?
