A woman walking along Honeygrove Road in Virginia Beach was struck by an intoxicated man driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse at a high rate of speed. The man then left the scene of the crime.
The victim, 73 year old Mary Edwards, was left with many broken bones as a result of the crash. Her husband noted that she was lucky to have avoided internal injuries or other life threatening damage.
Edwards’ broken bones are serious, however. She fractured both her ankles, her legs, pelvis, ribs and back. According to her doctors, she will be unable to walk for at least three months.
The driver of the Mitsubishi, Dorek Hayes, 29, was arrested one block from the scene of the accident. Hayes had crashed his car into a van.
The driver was charged with second offense DUI, DUI refusal, hit and run, and maiming. He is being held without bond in Virginia Beach.
Hayes was first arrested for driving under the influence in 2006, again in Virginia Beach. He pled guilty to those charges and paid a fine as a result.
