Winston-Salem, NC (May 19, 2021) – A man from Winston-Salem was injured in a two-car crash that took place on Monday, May 17th. The accident happened around 4:45 p.m. on Thomasville Road at the intersection with Baden Road.
According to a report from Officer J.M. Estela, Jr., Travis McGill, of Winston-Salem, was driving a 2014 Chrysler when he came to the intersection of Baden and Thomasville Road. McGill failed to yield at the stop sign and entered the intersection where he collided with a 1997 Chevrolet driven by Jonathan Wooten, also of Winston-Salem. Wooten suffered undisclosed injuries in the crash and was transported by ambulance to Forsyth Hospital. McGill was not injured. There were no other vehicles involved.
