pushing a bicycle. I spoke to the victim Ms. Jazmine Canty who stated she attempting to cross the street with a bicycle holding two walkie talkies when a black
in color mini van stopped and was letting her cross. As she began to cross the van began to move and struck her elbow and maybe the bike as well. Ms.

number it may be difficult to figure out what vehicle struck her daughter.

2017014189 May 12, 2017 3:09 am 1299 GREENFIELD ST/S 13TH ST At 1601, 5/12/17, I was dispatched to a traffic collision. Upon arrival I spoke with driver-1 who told me he was driving straight ahead through the intersection
when he heard something strike the left side of his vehicle. After stopping he realized pedestrian-2 had run into the side of his vehicle. No witnesses
presented themselves at the scene. My investigation revealed that pedestrian-2 is a 5 year old child that while in the crosswalk, failed to obey a red signal that
would have forbidden him to enter the intersection. As a result, pedestrian-2 ran North across the intersection and collided with the left side of vehicle-1. The
left rear tire drove across the right leg of pedestrian-2.
2017014592 May 16, 2017 7:41 pm 1700 DRYSDALE DR/MILITARY Driver #1 (Mr Woodburn) stated that he was traveling south down the bike / walking path that runs parallel with Military Cutoff Rd. As he was approaching
CUTOFF RD Drysdale Dr, he slowed down and thought traffic was stopping so he proceeded to cross the intersection when Driver #2 collided with his bicycle and knocking
him to the ground. He sustained injuries from the collision and was transported by EMS to Cape Fear Hospital. Driver #2 volunteered (and he agreed), for
her to take possession of his bicycle to transport it to his home and drop it off on the front porch. Driver #1 had given Driver #2 his information prior to my
arrival.
Driver #2 (Ms Hildreth) stated that she was approaching the intersection traveling west on Drysdale Dr in the outside travel lane preparing to turn right. As she
approached the intersection, she was in the process of slowing to stop when she collided with Driver #1. She did not see Driver #1 until the collision.
Witness #1 stated that she was traveling North on Military Cutoff approaching the intersection with a green light in her travel direction. As she approached the
intersection she saw Driver #2 "pull out" and collide with the bicycle.
Witness #2 stated that she was in the left hand turn lane on Military Cutoff Rd, stopped at a red light waiting to turn onto Drysdale Dr. She stated that as Mr
Woodburn was crossing the intersection across Drysdale Dr, when Driver #2 began to enter the intersection and collided with Driver #1 knocking him onto the
hood of her vehicle and then he fell to the ground.
My investigation revealed that there are contributing factors from both parties and from the landscape of the area. Ms Hildreth did not stop at the stop line
marked for her travel lane. However, the stop line for her travel lane has a placement that if you stop at that line, a drivers view in the direction where Mr
Woodburn was traveling from, is obstructed by a row of hedges. It appeared to be quite normal during the time of my investigation that other vehicle also pull
forward of the stop line on a regular basis. From my questioning of Ms Hildreth, that while she was perhaps in the process of stopping, her attention was
diverted to observation of traffic coming from her left in order to determine whether or not is was clear for her to turn "right on red".
Mr Woodburns contributing factor is the fact that he did not stop and yield to traffic on the road prior to entering the intersection. Cyclist are required to stop,
yield and walk their bicycles across intersections and not ride across the intersection without stopping to verify the path is clear and safe. He also would not
have had a clear line of vision to approaching traffic until he was right at the intersection because of the row of hedges obstructing his line of vision.
Since both parties negligence played key roles in contributing to the crash, neither operator was cited.
Nothing further to report at this time.

looking left at oncoming traffic. He advised that he was at the stop sign for approximately 15 seconds and when he saw an opening he proceeded forward
across S. 17th St. When doing so he felt a collision with something in the road as if he had run over something. He proceeded across S. 17th St. out of the
way of oncoming traffic and parked his vehicle in the 1600 block of Queen St. When he exited his vehicle to see what happened he saw that he had collided
with a cyclist.
Witness 1 advised that she walking trash out to the dumpster behind Charlie Grangiers and as she was walking back she a white male in the road as if he had
toppled over on his bike. She said that a white in color truck attempted to cross S. 17th St. on Queen St. and ran over the man.
Witness 2 advised she was traveling north on S. 17th St. when she saw a man on the ground with beer all around him. She advised there was a guy pulled up
to the stop sign and he was on the phone at the time and did not see the man on the ground. She advised that as she passed by, the truck drove over the
man in the road. She then pulled over immediately to assist.
Charlie Grainger CCTV footage shows Pedalcyclist 1 riding west in the 1700 block of Queen St. and coming to a stop at the northern corner of Queen St.
Vehicle 2 is then seen pulling up to the intersection stopping just past the stop line. Pedalcyclist 1 then attempts to cross S. 17th St. and wobbles left, right,
and then left again falling to the ground in front of Vehicle 2 approximately 4 - 5 feet. Ten seconds later Vehicle 2 begins to cross S. 17th St. colliding with
Pedalcyclist 1 who was lying on his back in the roadway in front of Vehicle 2.
Investigation revealed that Pedalcyclist 1 failed to maneuver safely across S. 17th St. falling in front of Vehicle 2. Vehicle 2, unable to see Pedalcyclist 1,
proceeded across S. 17th St. colliding with Pedalcyclist 1.
No charges filed.

2017015481 May 24, 2017 1:27 am Driver of Veh 1 left the scene prior to my arrival.
Pedestrian stated he was behind his car at the gas pump when Vehicle 1 backed up and hit him in the leg, before putting it into drive and leaving the scene.
He stated it was a black car with a CA license plate.
Pedestrian refused EMS and I was unable to view the video footage as the person working did not have the password to the camera system. I did check the
driveways in the surrounding area for a black car with CA plates, as I was told that the suspect may live behind the store, but did not locate same.
Nothing further at this time.

HILLS DR
Upon my arrival I met with a witness a Mr. Williams who stated that he was walking with his friend a Miss Alajah Graham. He stated that they were crossing
Barclay Hills drive when a gray car stuck his friend and kept driving toward Market St on Barclay Hills Dr.
I then spoke with Jason another witness who observed Mr. Williams and Ms. Graham walk up to the vehicle and stop it, the male talked to the driver while the
female punched the rear passenger side, fell to the ground and screamed she got hit and had a broken leg.
The female Miss Graham got transported to Cape fear Hospital. She stated that she was crossing the street and thought the vehicle making a left turn was
going to stop for her but then got hit dead center with the front of the vehicle and that she never fell to the ground and that she just walked to the side of the
street. She stated her friend Mr. Williams tried to stop the vehicle but it kept driving away on Barclay Hills Dr toward Market St.
The driver of the vehicle called into dispatch stating she was standing by at another location because she did not feel safe. I met with Kathy at Forest Hills Dr.
She stated that she was making a left turn onto Barclay Hills Dr from Princess Pl. When a black male with braids stopped her and simultaneously she heard a
banging on her rear passenger side and then a female voice saying her leg is broken. Kathy stated that the male said "you need to pay us" You need to give
us money" Kathy stated that she had cash on her because she was headed to the bank. She said that she had a visible $20 and Mr. Williams said he needed
a lot more then $20.
I observed no damage to the vehicle in both the front nor the back. I spoke with the X-ray tech at the hospital and with Miss Grahams permission got her X-
ray results. There were not broken bones, swelling or marks. Just pain that Miss Graham stated she had.
Because of the conflicting information I am unable to determine if a vehicle crash occurred or if anyone was struck by a vehicle due to no damage done to the
vehicle and not visible or internal injuries to the alleged victim.

Upon arrival, EMS was on scene and tending to a struck pedestrian identified as Jennifer Wightman. Jennifer was laying on her back in the road. It was very
apparent that her left leg was broken.
The driver, Scott Franks, was standing outside of his truck. I detected a slight alcohol presence, however Franks was speaking very clearly, standing on his
own and did not appear to be at all impaired. I also noticed there were slight tire impressions in the roadway.
Franks stated that he was on his boat all day and had gotten stuck out on the water making him in a hurry to get home. He added that the reason he was on
Dogwood Dr was that he was hoping it would be a faster cut through to Eastwood Rd. He advised that he was still new to the area. Franks then stated that
he was traveling west on Dogwood Dr when he noticed slight movement ahead of him. He added that he thought it may have been a dog. He advised that
his vision was obstructed by an oncoming car. Therefore, he slammed on the breaks and thought he hit something. At first he thought he had hit a dog. After
turning his truck and boat trailer around at the end of the street, he then pulled up and noticed Jennifer lying still in the road.
There was minimal damage on the front right corner of Franks`s truck.
On the scene, Jennifer stated that she had consumed five glasses of wine. She stated that she was walking her dog west on Dogwood Dr. She stated that
she was in the road but not directly in the center. She advised that she normally walks her dog off the leash and when a car comes she squats down and
calls her dog over to hook the leash back on. She then added that the next thing she knew, she was rolling in the street. Jennifer was transported to Cape
Fear Memorial Hospital.
Witness 1, Kevin Simpson, a neighbor and family friend of Jennifer, stated he saw the truck moving at at least 45 mph. Simpson also advised that he didn`t
see the collision occur, only heard a female scream.
At the hospital, Jennifer`s leg was completely wrapped up. She added that she remembered getting struck while squatting to hook her dog up.
Witness 2, Jaimie Wightman, Jennifer`s husband, arrived at the hospital and stated that his wife was not in the center of the road although was in the road,
although he did not actually see the collision occur. He estimated the truck`s speed at at least 60 mph. He added that he did not see an oncoming car like
Franks had said. Jaimie also advised that people speeding down their street is an ongoing issue.

2017011788 April 20, 2017 10:40 am 299 N 3RD ST/GRACE ST On 04/20/2017 I was dispatched to the intersection of N 3rd St. and Grace St. in reference to a traffic crash involving a car and a bicycle. When I arrived I
spoke to the driver of the car Bruce Finn Jr.
Mr. Finn stated that he had the red light and was trying to turn right on N 3rd St. Mr. Finn said he was looking left and did not see him crossing. Mr. Finn
was driving a Dodge Intrepid with a Maryland license plate of 3CM7857. The car had minor damage where the front license plate came off during the crash.
I also spoke with multiple witnesses who stated confirmed Mr. Finn`s statements. Along with those statements all the witnesses stated that the other party
involved in this crash was riding a bicycle heading North while on the side walk. The person riding the bike was hit while he was entering the crosswalk.
EMS was already on scene when I arrived and then transported the second party involved to Cape Fear hospital. By the time I finished up at the crash
scene and went to Cape Fear hospital the other party had left. The hospital gave me a name of Josh Patterson with a date of birth of 1-21-1997. I attempted
several times to call the phone number I found in RMS for him but was uable to reach him.
Mr. Patteson`s bike was left at the scene and I secured the bike by taking it to WPD property and evidence for safekeeping. No citations were given due to
both parties having contributing factors to the crash.
Nothing further.
2017018177 June 17, 2017 3:35 pm 899 RANKIN ST/ANDERSON ST My investigation concluded that driver 1 operated his motorcycle in a reckless manner, losing control and falling off of same, which resulted in the motorcycle
colliding with a pedestrian.
A large crowd had gathered and while many people were able to recount the events of the incident, none of the passerby`s would provide their identity to be
recorded as a witness.
On scene, driver one was dazed and confused , unable to make a coherent statement , and the pedestrian was being treated by EMS.
I spoke with the witness who stated that she was driving her vehicle west on Rankin Street attempting to make a left turn south onto Anderson St. She noticed
the motorcycle behind her coming up at a high rate of speed and while she was making her left turn, heard a collision, and then parked her car on Anderson
Street after stopping. The witness and I inspected her vehicle but could not find any damage. The witness was unsure as to which side the motorcycle or it`s
rider went to. On the rear right side of the witness`s vehicle, I found a streak of transferred rubber that the witness did not remember being there before.
I then returned to Driver 1. I asked him to recount the events of the incident but he was unsure and seemed confused. I then asked him to tell me which
direction he was coming from and he pointed to the west toward the river. This was opposite of what the crowd and the witness communicated. Driver one
was then transported to Cape Fear hospital.
I then went to New Hanover regional medical center to speak with the pedestrian. The pedestrian stated that he had just left Ruth`s corner store and crossed
Anderson Street. He was then walking across Rankin Street heading north when he noticed the motorcycle "dip behind the car" and then collide with him. He
was not able to advise any details about what happened to the rider at that time.
I then responded to Cape Fear Hospital to speak with driver one again. Driver one stated that he turned left from 10th St. onto Rankin St. and when he
approached the intersection at Rankin and Anderson St. , the vehicle in front of him slowed promptly and failed to signal intent to turn. He then stated that he
attempted to stop and then avoided hitting the rear of the car in front of him by directing the motorcycle to the right of the vehicle. He then fell off the
motorcycle.
Driver one was cited for careless and reckless, NCGS 20-140(A).

was hit by driver-1. Driver-1 told me she was unsure how the collision occurred and later at the police department told me she had not been driving the
vehicle. Upon speaking with driver-1 it became clear that she was impaired by alcohol. At the police department driver-1 submitted a breath sample which
read .18ac. On 9/28/2017 I spoke by telephone with bicyclist-2. He told me that he was riding his bike in the "bike lane{ when he was struck by vehicle-1. I
noted there is no bike lane but rather just a fog line that was visible on the roadway. My investigation of this collision revealed that driver-1 was impaired by
alcohol and failed to drive the vehicle entirely within a single lane of travel. As a result the right side of vehicle-1 struck unit-2. At the scene I could see the
broken mirror from vehicle-1. The computer program dwould not allow me to enter the proper code of 28 for point of contact for the bicycle.

not produce enough friction to stop the bicycle. It felt like the brakes were wet and not offering any friction.

She did not see the bicyclist until just before she collided with the left side of her vehicle. She jammed on her brakes and stopped, kept her foot on the brake
and stayed inside of her vehicle until other bystanders were able to verify that the operator of the bicycle was not pinned underneath, nor would she further
injure the cyclist.

had crossed ahead of her mother against the crosswalk sign to get to the teller machine at the nearby shopping center. Her mother wanted to wait for the
proper crossing signal prior to crossing.
My personal observation of the traffic light / crosswalk light is that it was working normally, and there are no witnesses to corroberate either parties story. The
sun was in a position to cause a glare that could have hindered Driver #1 from clearly seeing Driver #2; however, even though the light could have changed in
mid-crossing, clearly Driver #2 had possession of the crosswalk, and had made it across 5 lanes of traffic prior to colliding with Driver #1.
Driver #1 was cited for failure to Yield to a Pedestrian in a Crosswalk

2018003710 February 3, 2018 9:34 am 99 RACINE DR/OLD EASTWOOD RD At 2204, 2/3/2018, I was dispatched to a traffic collision. Prior to my arrival driver-2 had fled the crash scene and pedestrian-1 had been transported to the
hospital. I spoke with witness-1 who told me he had witnessed the entire event. Witness-1 said that pedestrian-1 had been standing in front of vehicle-2
when vehicle-2 started forward and drove over pedestrian-1 and then fled the scene without stopping to provide information or aid. Witness-2 told me he was
present but deferred to witness-1. Witness-2 told me that witness-1 had "seen more of the event." At the hospital I attempted to speak briefly with
pedestrian-1 who no longer wanted to answer my questions and asked me to leave. CSI documented the injuries incurred by pedestrian-1 and the crash
scene. At 1011, 2/4/2018, I was dispatched to the crash scene to meet with driver-2 and both passengers who occupied vehicle-2 at the time of the collision.
Driver-2 and both passengers followed me to the police department where CSI photographed vehicle-2 and the passengers and driver-2 provided written and
video statements concerning the incident. Driver-2 said that as he and his passengers were in the vehicle they were being confronted by pedestrian-1,
witness-1 and witness-2. Driver-2 said that witness-1 was "hitting the passenger side windows with his hands and pedestrian-1 was on the driver side. During
this witness-2 arrived in his vehicle. Driver-2 said he fled the area but was unaware that he had struck pedestrian-1 until seeing a local news report. Both
passengers gave essentially the same account of the event. On 2/5/2018, I spoke with pedestrian-1 at the hospital. He told me that he approached vehicle-2
and its occupants in the pva because he believed that vehicle-2 was actually the vehicle owned by witness-1 and then asked for "a ride home." When driver-2
and the vehicle occupants refused to provide a ride, there was a small verbal exchange as pedestrian-1 walked away. Pedestrian-1 said the he and witness-1
had not confronted the occupants of vehicle-2 but did attempt to retrieve property that pedestrian-1 believed he had left in vehicle-2. Witness-1 and
witness-2 later gave later gave written and video statements concerning the incident. Witness-2 said that he thought vehicle-2 had driven over the curb island
as it left the scene. My investigation revealed that driver-2 failed to see before starting forward that the movement could be made safely. Pedestrian-1 failed
to step away from the vehicle to safety and was standing in a location so close to the vehicle as to be unreasonable as the vehicle attempted to leave the pva.
Driver-2 said he believed that he and the vehicle occupants were being confronted by a number of people and chose to leave rather than be involved in a
physical confrontation. All occupants of vehicle-2 denied knowledge of striking pedestrian-1 as they left the pva. All person(s) involved in this event had been
consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the event. No tests for alcohol or drugs were given or made available to Law Enforcement at the time of this report.

2018012424 April 24, 2018 9:04 am 1699 WOOSTER ST/S 17TH ST On above listed date while on uniform patrol of district 3 in vehicle 17025 I, Officer W. Rose responded to the New Hanover Medical Center in reference to a
past occurred hit and run. When I arrived on scene I met with Monique Buie who had been transported by EMS to the hospital after she had called about
being hit by a car.
I spoke with EMS Unit 33 who advised that they transported Ms. Buie to the hospital from 909 N Lincoln Ct. EMS unit stated that the patient was alert, and
could not state what specific part of her body was injured.
I then spoke with Ms. Buie who stated that she was walking North bound on S 17th St. Ms. Buie advised that she was attempting to walk across the street at
the crosswalk and had the walk symbol. Ms. Buie stated that she was halfway across the crosswalk when traffic began to come toward her on Wooster St.
Ms. Buie stated that she attempted to get all the way across but a gray in color sedan hit her. Ms. Buie stated that the impact caused her to go unconcious
and into shock. Ms Buie then stated that the cashier from Family Dollar was on scene and asked if she was ok, but Ms. Buie did not have any information on
the Family Dollar store clerk. Ms. Buie then advised she walked to 909 N Lincoln Ct. to call 911.
While speaking with Ms. Buie I attempted to get further information on the accident. Ms. Buie would only state to me that her whole body hurt due to getting
hit on the right side of her body. Ms. Buie could not remember which part of the car hit her, or where at on her body. Ms. Buie did not have any visible injuries
and stated this was due to her clothing. Ms. Buie stated that she just wanted to report the incident. I provided her with a case number, and cleared from the
hospital.
I made contact with the STING center and attempted to locate video footage of the incident. I was advised that the traffic camera at S 17th St. and Wooster
St. did capture the incident at 1356 hours. I obtained a copy of the video footage that was copied, and is entered into Wilmington Police Department
Evidence.
The video footage shows the traffic signal for the West bound lanes emitting a steadily red light, and no pedestrian in the crosswalk. The video footage then
shows the traffic light turn green, and the traffic in all three lanes begins to move. Once the traffic light turns green you see the pedestrian begin to cross in
front of the lanes of traffic which are now moving. The pedestrian on camera starts off in the crosswalk but then begins to walk out of the crosswalk in a
diagonal direction toward the entrance of the Family Dollar at 722 S 17th St. As the pedestrian is exiting the right lane toward the sidewalk: a dark in color
vehicle stops in the travel lane. The video footage then shows the pedestrian get off the ground from infront of the vehicle, and continue walking toward
Family Dollar. The dark vehicle remains stopped in the lane as the pedestrian walks away, but then leaves due to the pedestrian walking away from the
scene. Due to the angle of the camera, I am unable to determine that the vehicle actually struck the victim as she was crossing the road. Due to a lack of
evidence, and lack of visible injury I am unable to determine if the victim was actually struck by vehicle #1.
Ms. Buie was unable to provide any driver description or additional information.

abrasion on the back side of his head, and that it was swelling to form a large lump. With Ellis not wanting to give any information I provided him a card with
my name and number in case he wanted to file a report later.
3) On my way out of the hospital I was met by Ellis`s family. The family provided a phone number of a Willie Williams. Williams stated that she saw Ellis and
Breandra Clay arguing outside in a parking lot at Market North Apartments. The two continued to arguing before entering into a residence. Williams then

RD/SHOREWOOD HILLS DR The dog ran across Masonboro Loop Rd and was close to the road. She said she looked both ways and did not see any traffic. She stated that she made it
to the other side of the road and feels like she "tripped (possibly over her feet), fell back and hit her head on the grass." She said she was not struck by the
SUV and she is not claiming any injuries. She was evaluated by EMS and released at the scene, refusing treatment and refusing transport.
Witness #2 (the pedestrians brother) advised that he did not see his sister look either way prior to running across the street from the east side of the road.
She was focused on the dog and he said he kept telling her to stop but she didn`t. He stated that he saw the SUV impact his sister and that he felt like that
impact was very close to the point in time where the SUV came to a complete stop. He did not hear an impact, but just saw her fall off to the side. He ran to
check on her and she kept saying "I`m okay, I`m okay". He stated the driver of the SUV and the driver of the vehicle behind the SUV came to her aid and
waited for emergency personnel.

the road.
Driver #1 stated that he was traveling about 45mph with the cruise control, traveling south on Masonboro Loop Rd. He saw a dog that had run across the
street and two smaller children that had run up to the edge of the left side of the road watching the dog. He had hit the brake and had slowed down to what he
described as "coasting", keeping an eye on the dog and believing that the kids were waiting on him to pass so they could cross and get the dog. He did not
think that they would come into his lane of traffic. As he got closer, the young girl moved into the street and without looking, darted across the road, causing
him to jam on his brakes. He came to an abrupt stop, feeling like the impact with the young lady happened at the same moment his truck came to a complete
stop, and "bumping" her, causing her to roll off the front corner of the vehicle. He got out of his truck and went to the aid of the young lady who kept wanting
to get up, but he insisted she stay on the ground. She asked him to "please don`t tell my mom".
Vehicle #1 had very minimal damage, appearing that the trim between the parking light and the headlight had a light crack in it. The right front parking light
was intact but dislodged and loose sitting in place. This was the only apparent damage on the vehicle.
