WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Police in North Carolina have filed charges against the daughter of a 92-year-old woman killed in a traffic crash last month.
Winston-Salem police said in a statement on Tuesday that 66-year-old Betty Sue Morrison is charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle, failure to maintain lane control and unsafe tires. Morrison was given an unsecured bond of $2,500. It’s not known if she has an attorney.
A police report said Morrison was driving a pickup truck that ran off U.S. 311, hit a guard rail and overturned on April 5. Her mother, Helen Morrison, died at the scene. Betty Morrison was injured and taken to a local hospital.
Eight people have died in traffic accidents in Winston-Salem so far in 2017, double the number at the same time last year.
