Woman killed in Edgecombe County wreck


print friendly

A 20-year-old woman died in a two-vehicle wreck at N.C. highways 33 and 42, south of Tarboro late Tuesday, state troopers said.

Monique Anne Dudley, of Greenville, was going south on N.C. 33 around 11:30 p.m. when she ran through a stop sign and flashing red lights, troopers said. A Chevrolet pickup truck westbound on N.C. 42 struck the driver's side door of Dudley's car.

Dudley was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.

The pickup truck flipped over and trapped the driver, Leslie Howard Bachman Jr., 48, of Williamston. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Heritage Hospital in Tarboro.

First responders said they found a cell phone near Dudley. They did not know if she was making a phone call or texting when the wreck happened. Troopers said that speed, alcohol or drugs were not a factor in the wreck.

Dudley was headed home from work at the Walmart store in Tarboro, troopers said. Bachman was headed to work at the Firestone plant.

That intersection was the site of many wrecks, hence the flashing lights....it's very visable noe, especially to someone who travels that way often. (that was her work route) I don't understand why youth seem to think they are invincible. The 18 year old killed outside of Tarboro a few days ago was speeding on a curvy road. Kids (and adults) please slow down and be careful!

Well I just finished reading about the two twenty something girls that continue to text and drive and now I read this. Sounds like this young lady was doing the same thing considering she went through a stop sign with flashing red lights. I hope the two girls from the other article read this story. Sympathy to the family.
