A six-car*pileup left two women
sightly injured and caused more than
$ 19,000 worth of damage to the cars,
saidChiefJ.R.McNeillof the Raeford
Police Department.
The accident occurred on the cor
ner of Magnolia and Prospect Av

day afternoon. Apparently a truck
pulling a tractor on a trailer lost use of
his brakes as he was approaching the
intersection, said McNeill. The truck,
driven by Sammy Taylor of Carthage,
apparently struck a 1992 Dodge
pickup driven by Michael Davis of
Cameron, who owned both vehicles.
The accident set off a chain reaction
ofotheraccidents, said McNeill. Davis
hit a 1988 Chevrolet driven by Patricia
Walker of Raeford. Hercarhita 1992
Toyota driven by Anita Rawls of
Fayetteville. Rawl's Toyota hit a 1992
Nissan driven by Amanda
Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth was at
the stoplight and her car went into the
intersection where it was hit by a car
driven by Patricia McNeill of
Raeford.
Taylor was the only one charged in
the incident, said McNeill. He was
charged with failure to reduce speed
to avoid an accident. Two women,
Walker and Rawls, complained of
pain at the scene but were not trans
ported by ambulance, said McNeill.
Taylor’s vehicle sustained $300 in
damage; Davis’s truck had $9,000 in
damage; Walker’s automobile had
$3,000 in damage; Rawl’s car had
$6,000 in damage; Hollingsworth’s
car had $900 in damage and McNeill’s
car had $300 in damage.
School bus accident
Early Thursday morning, a school
bus full of students headed for Hoke
High School was involved in an acci
dent, said McNeill.
The bus, driven by Jessie Will
iams, was apparently making a left
turn onto Bethel Road when Williams
struck the front bumper of a 1995
Toyota driven by Barbara Scriven,
McNeill said. Seri ven’s daughter and
son were also in the car.
The accident caused $ 1,000 in dam
age to the car, McNeill said. Little
damage was sustained by the school
bus.
No one was charged in the inci
dent.

cable line in a single-car accident on
Central Avenue, said McNeill.

attempting to make a left turn from
North Main Street onto Central Av
enue when he struck a fire hydrant
owned by the city of Raeford, said
McNeill. He also struck a cable line
owned by CVl Cable out of Red
Springs, he said.

cording to reports. The damage to the
