Two people were injured Thursday night in Fayetteville when a van hit them near the intersection of Ramsey Street and Mullins Avenue, police said. 

The wreck happened about 6:30 p.m. as Adam Pelles, 25, of the 100 block of Buckingham Avenue, attempted to turn his 2001 Ford van left onto Mullins Avenue from Ramsey Street. Police said Terry Pearson, 39, and Angela Armstrong, 43, both homeless, were standing in the roadway at the time of the wreck and were hit. 

Pearson was taken to UNC Hospitals with serious injuries, and Armstrong was treated and released at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for minor injuries. 

No charges have been filed, but Fayetteville police said the traffic unit is still investigating the wreck.

Wral news stated the driver was charged with some infraction( I can't rememeber just what). Too bad the homeless did not seek the crosswalk or have reflective clothing. this is just sad all the way around. May this be a turning point for these homeless to get the help they need to get on their feet again in terms of self sustaining lives.
