1 killed, 1 charged in crash that closed Wake Forest Road for several hours

Debris was scattered down Wake Forest Road by St. Alban's Drive, where a fatal crash was blocking the intersection. One person was killed and two were injured.

Officials with the Raleigh Police Department said the crash happened around 8:30 p.m. when Nicole Rumph, 53, was making a left turn to go north on Wake Forest Road. Rumph collided with another driver and was killed in the crash.

Stacy Brown, 56, who was riding in the car with Rumph, was transported to a local hospital for her injuries. Officials did not provide an update on her condition.

Mirna Liseth Arias-Perez, 23, was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle and was transported to the Wake County Detention Center after being checked out a local hospital.

Just minutes after the first crash, only a few hundred feet down the road, another crash also contributed to the major traffic back-up. Two vehicles were also involved in this crash, at least one of which was a York security vehicle.

It is not yet known whether or not the two wrecks are related.
