Woman in
Wreck
from page A1
According to police. Km Rita
Webster, 21, of 1005 Chafes St.,
was driving south on New Walker
town Road about 2 ajn. on June 22
when her car crossed the center
line, collided with the cuib on the
east side of the street and smashed
into*a tree. There were no skid
rparks, police said.
The 1988 Pontiac, which
Webster had rented from Doby's
on June 18, received $3,000 worth
of damage, police said. Myra
Stafford, the victim's sister, said
the car was totaled. She said her
sister, a summer student at Win
ston-Salem State University, was
working on a school project with
friends and fell asleep on her way
home.
No ooe else was in the car.
Stafford said her sister suf
fered two broken legs, two shat
tered kneecaps, a broken ankle, a
broken thigh bone, a collapsed
lung, broken ribs, a punctured liver
and required 11 units of blood. A
spokesman from Baptist Hospital
said Monday morning that Web- ?
ster was in serious condition in
intensive-care unit.
After being assured that her
sister would live, Stafford said she
and a relative went to the rental
agency later that morning to tell
them of the accident.
"I told him, 'I know I'm not
responsible, but 1 thought I'd let
you know where your car is,' " she
said.
She said she explained what
had happened and the man pulled
out the leiiial contxact her sister
i>ad signed. Stafford said he then
began shouting at her and her
cousin Elton Price, who had
accompanied her.
"You bastards! You people
take people's stuff and tear it up,"
she said the man shouted. "You
bastards are all alike. I don't give a
damn if she dies."
"That's my sister you're talk
ing about," Stafford told him. "He
was very nide."
Stafford said Price calmed her
down. Said Price: "I wanted lo
knock his teeth down his throat."
He said the man then told
them to leave his property.
A man who answered the tele
identified himself as the manager
and said: "I don't know who you're
talking abouL I run my own busi
ness, you run your'n." He then
hung up.
Tatum said he got a similar
response when he called the
agency.
"When a man uses those kind
of statements, you're going to have
to call someone on the carpet/
said Tatum, referring to the com
ments he allegedly made to
Stafford and Price.
Tatum said he had once
received another complaint about
how the company deals with
African Americans. The company
has a high number of African
American clients because it does
not require a credit card for rentals,
Tatum said.
