WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS,

IT APPEARS THAT THIS CRASH

HAPPENED IN THIS PARKING SPOT

RIGHT HERE ON SALISBURY STREET

IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH, LOOKING AT

THOSE PHOTOS. IT SHOWS US A LOT

OF WHAT TOOK PLACE HERE.

LET'S GET A LOOK AT THEM RIGHT

NOW. IT SHOWS A DARK CAR

PARTIALLY ON TOP OF A WHITE

WE ALSO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT

HAPPENED HERE BY LOOKING AT THE

DECEMBER 8. THAT'S WHEN THIS

CRASH HAPPENED. IT SAYS THAT

A SHARP SUDDEN TURN WAS MADE

STRIKING A PARKED VEHICLE.

IT ALSO SAYS THE DRIVER OF THAT

TOLD DISPATCHERS THERE WAS NO

ONE IN THE DARK CAR ON

DECEMBER. 12TH RALEIGH POLICE

CHARGED BETH WOOD WITH HIT AND

RUN RESULTING IN PROPERTY

DAMAGE. SHE WAS ALSO CITED FOR

UNSAFE MOVEMENT. NOW, WRAL HAS

REACHED OUT TO WOULD FOR A

COMMENT FOR THIS STORY AS WE

CONTINUE TO REPORT THESE

THINGS. WE'VE ALSO REACHED OUT

STILL WAITING FOR A COMMENT

FROM BOTH OF THEM. WE

UNDERSTAND THAT SHE WILL BE IN
