North Carolina Highway Patrol troopers charged Kimberly Ann Waller, 40, of 151 J. L. Farm Lane, after she wrecked a 1990 Chevrolet that belonged to Wanda Stiller Garmon, of the same address, Saturday around 1 a.m.

Waller’s son, Terry Lynn Kimmer, 22, of the same address, died after he was thrown from the vehicle as it overturned, according to the Highway Patrol report.

A third passenger, Donald R. Rash II, 23, of 2468 Liberty Church Road, Yadkinville, was wearing his seat belt and escaped with only minor injuries.

The report indicated Waller, Kimmer and Rash were all riding in the front seat. Kimmer was sitting in the middle and was not wearing a seat belt. Troopers had not determined if Waller was wearing her seat belt.

Waller refused to take an Intoxilyzer breath test.

“She indicated to the officer that she was traveling home,” First Sergeant V. F. Mellone said this morning. Troopers have not determined where the three were coming from.

As she drove south on Gladstone Road, Waller ran off the right of a curve and struck a culvert. The Chevrolet overturned several times and came to rest in a yard, according to the report.

The posted speed limit on Gladstone Road, approximately 1 1/2 miles from Cooleemee, is 45 miles per hour. Troopers estimated before she went into the curve, Waller was driving 60 mph.

The vehicle was towed to Mike’s Wrecker Service on Junction Road.

There are no other charges at this time. Mellone said the investigation is continuing, and troopers will meet with Davie County District Attorney Gary Frank about possible additional charges.

According to the Davie County Cleark of Court’s office, Waller’s only previous infraction was for failure to yield.

Cooleemee Police officers assisted HighwayPatrol with traffic control.

This marks the second fatality in Davie County this year.

Mocksville Police Chief Richard Latham Sink, 53, died on Feb. 28, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.The accident was not alcohol related.
