Three-Vehicle Fayetteville Car Crash Involving School Bus Leaves One Woman Dead

October 20, 2009, by Michael A. DeMayo

A 78-Year-Old Cameron, North Carolina woman died on Thursday in a
Fayetteville car crash involving three motor vehicles that occurred early in the morning. Annie Wilson Thomas was riding in a Buick LeSabre driven by Joe Ann Pelchat.

According to police, Pelchat was turning left onto Purdue Drive when she ended up in the path of a school bus. The car-bus accident caused Pelchat’s car to collide head-on with a pickup truck.

Following the multi-vehicle crash, Pelchat was taken to the intensive care for neural monitoring. Fortunately, no one riding the school bus was injured. According to a preliminary police probe, Pelchat may have failed to yield to a flashing yellow light as she turned left.

Unfortunately, this incident was not the only Fayetteville car accident to claim a life this week. On Monday, one man died and another got hurt in a North Carolina auto accident at the intersection of Interstate 295 and Ramsey Street.

Per the police’s preliminary investigation, 57-year-old Falcon resident Robert Brigman’s vehicle crossed the center line and was involved in a head-crash with a van driven by James Reeves. Brigman died at the North Carolina car crash site while Reeves, who sustained serious injuries, was flown to a hospital.
