2 Injured in Wilson Car Accident
The driver has been identified as Rosa Lee Lewis, 59, of Louisburg, who was taken to Wilson Medical Center after a crash on Nash Street.
Two people were injured when a car hit a house in a crash on Nash Street in Wilson early Monday, according to the Wilson Police Department.
The Early Morning Crash on Nash Street
Police said the wreck took place around 4 a.m. in the 1300 block of Nash Street, near the Oliver Nestus Freeman Round House and African American Museum. Police said the driver, Rosa Lee Lewis, 59, of Louisburg, was heading east in a 1997 silver Mercedes E320 when the car left the road and struck a home. Police said Lewis and her passenger got out of the car and were assisted by officers. Wilson County EMS took both to Wilson Medical Center.
Both the car and the house caught fire, and the Wilson Fire Department put out both fires. A fire department deputy chief said the vehicle fire had spread to the outside of the house and into the attic. Three people who lived in the home were displaced, and they were able to gather their belongings.
What the Wilson Police Investigation Involves
Police said the collision remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Wilson Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
Many newer cars keep a short record of the moments around a crash. Investigators may download that data, and making sense of it can take weeks.
