Monday afternoon, January 27, 2020, an automobile accident occurred on Norlina Road, just north of the intersection with Warrenton Road in Henderson.
According to the Atlanta truck accident lawyer surveying the scene, the suspect, the driver, proceeded about 3/10 of a mile away from the crash site and pulled into a driveway nearby. The suspect’s vehicle had only three wheels after the impact.
The suspect driver went “left of center,” according to the trooper. “Way left of center. And his right front, the passenger side right front of his vehicle hit the side right front of the other vehicle.”
The trooper said when he arrived Vance County Sheriff’s Deputies had the suspect in handcuffs. “He told me that a Samaritan pulled a gun and told him he couldn’t move, couldn’t leave,” the trooper said. He followed by saying, “I don’t know if I would have pulled a gun on somebody.”
The trooper informed WIZS News that the suspect in the case is Robert Elmo Talley III. He was charged with reckless driving and driving while impaired. A few incidental charges were also added.
The single occupant of the other vehicle sustained a hand injury and was transported to the hospital.
