Excerpt from article in the Nov. 9, 2007 Raleigh, NC N&O:

"State Highway Patrol officials say Carlos Gonzalez Hernandez, 36, struck the Williamson' 2000 Mazda as he turned left from center lane about 11 a.m. Sunday. His blood-alcohol level was .17, more than twice the legal limit, authorities say.

Gonzales Hernandez remained in the Durham County jail Wednesday with his bail set at $100,000."

According to the article the mail Hispanic killed Sue Williamson and her beloved pet Labrador, Penny Lane. Sue's husband, who was also in the vehicle, remains in Duke hospital in fair condition. The accident (or should I say murder) happend on U.S. 70 in Durham, NC. The accident, as described by one witness, was "horrific." The witness and her 12-year old son also suffered minor injuries and were treated at Duke.

No mention in the article about the driver, Carlos Gonzalez Hernandez, legal status, but posted this in the hopes that someone from Durham, NC could provide more information on the incident (I know we have one Durham poster on ALIPAC). Thanks.
