Possible seizure causes accident

WASHINGTON — The driver of a 2001 Ford Ranger that drove into the east side of the Knights of Columbus Council Building, 319 E. Main St., at 1:56 p.m. Sunday believes she may have had a seizure. Barbara L. Edrington, 50, 103 N.W. 12th St., said she’d just turned west onto E. Main Street from SR 57 in a 2001 Ford Ranger registered to George M. Edrington when she began to feel like she might have a seizure. She told officers she started to pull over, and that’s the last thing she remembers. According to a witness, after Edrington turned, she went off the road onto the sidewalk on the north side and continued to accelerate. She reentered the road, continuing west, and rear-ended a 1988 Volkswagen Fox registered to Billy L. Taylor Jr., 817W 300S. The impact shoved the Volkswagen into the rear of a 2000 Ford Contour registered to Cara L. Atchley, 404 E. Main St. Both vehicles were propelled into a 2003 Ford Explorer, also registered to Atchley. All three vehicles were legally parked along the curb.After striking the parked vehicles, Edrington continued west, crossing into the south lane and running the stop sign at E. Main and S.E. Fourth streets. The Ranger came to rest after striking the K of C building. According to the accident report, there were no signs of impairment, but Edrington advised she couldn’t remember what happened.  There was damage to all four vehicles, and the K of C building sustained damage from the vehicle and from a water line that broke when it was struck. Damage was estimated between $25,000 and $50,000.  Pictured, Jon Casper, second from left, and other K of C members inspect the damage to the building on Sunday.
