SALISBURY — Following a minor, rear-end vehicle collision early Monday morning, Salisbury Police arrested a woman involved for fleeing police.

Around 8 a.m. Monday, the North Carolina Highway Patrol responded to a minor vehicle accident near the intersection of Old Concord and Julian roads. Trooper J.T. Simmons told the Post a woman was on her way to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and was stopped in the left turn lane, prepared to turn onto Julian Road. Another woman attempted to make a lane change into the victim’s lane before just barely rear-ending the victim’s vehicle.

Thamera Smith, 25, of Salisbury allegedly fled the scene of the accident and was charged with felony eluding arrest. Officers followed her down Julian Road to Klumac Road. She turned right toward Jake Alexander Boulevard at high speed before spinning out when making another turn, according to police.

Officers also cited Smith for an expired tag and license, which is the reason she cited for fleeing officers.
