76-Year-Old Suspected Drunken Driver Hits Cycling Group in Wake County, Killing One and Injuring More Than 20
A major crash struck Wake County, North Carolina, on the morning of Nov. 7, when a 76-year-old driver suspected of driving while impaired hit a group of cyclists, killing one person and injuring more than 20. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said that shortly after 9:30 a.m., on Optimist Farm Road near Holly Springs, about 14 miles southwest of Raleigh, a black Infiniti crossed the center line and struck a group of about 30 riders from the Capital Cycling Club, then swerved back and went into a ditch about half a mile away. The deceased was identified as Patrick Allen Turner, 63, of Cary, who died at the scene; seven of the injured were seriously hurt and taken to trauma centers, and the rest were taken to local hospitals. The Capital Cycling Club is a long-established local amateur cycling organization whose members were on a Saturday morning group ride. The driver, Donald Robert Morris-Jones, 76, of Apex, was taken into custody and faces more than a dozen felony charges, including eight counts of felony hit-and-run causing serious injury or death, impaired driving, misdemeanor death by vehicle and serious injury offenses; he is scheduled to appear in court on the afternoon of Nov. 9. The Highway Patrol is leading the investigation, and Optimist Farm Road has reopened.
