INCIDENTS

94-211 - Blue Ridge (North Carolina/Virginia) - Follow-up on Fatal MVA

Around 10:15 p.m. on May 9th, S.M., 39, of Swannanoa, North
Carolina, was killed then the '93 S-10 Chevrolet pickup she was driving
collided with an '88 Hyundai Excel on the parkway near the U.S. Highway 74
east access ramp.  The driver of the Excel, Martha White, 23, of Asheville,
North Carolina, was also killed, and the vehicle was engulfed in flames. 
The passengers in the truck, R.T., 50, and his daughter, L.T.,
19, both of Swannanoa, were taken by air and ground ambulance to a
hospital in Asheville.  R.T. subsequently died of his injuries; as
of last Monday, L.T. was listed in critical condition with severe
internal injuries.  Preliminary indications are that speed and alcohol were
contributing factors.  The investigation is continuing.  [CRO, BLRI, 5/13]
