Wilmington, NC (March 14, 2021) – A woman from Wilmington was taken to the hospital following a two-vehicle crash on Wednesday, March 10th. The accident happened around 9:00 a.m. on Wrightsville Avenue near the intersection with South Kerr Avenue.
According to Officer Mizrahi of the Wilmington Police Department, Patricia Toro-Salas was driving a 2007 Nissan when she approached the intersection of Wrightsville and South Kerr. Toro-Salas had a green light in her direction of travel and entered the intersection. As she proceeded through, her vehicle was struck by a 1998 Honda driven by Jamie Stuart Guyton, of Raeford.
Toro-Salas suffered injuries as a result of the collision and was transported to Cape Fear Memorial Hospital. There is no further word on her condition. Guyton was not injured in the crash. During an investigation, police determined that Guyton was distracted by his dog and ran the red light, causing the crash with Toro-Salas.
Police have not released any further information and there is no word on potential charges.
We would like to offer our thoughts and well-wishes to Patricia Toro-Salas following this car accident in Wilmington.
North Carolina Car Accidents 
No one ever gets into a vehicle expecting to be involved in a car accident. The reality, however, is that injury accidents happen every day across North Carolina. In 2019, there were approximately 300,000 reported car accidents in North Carolina. These crashes ranged from very minor to severe. While not all accidents result in injuries, many of them will. The results of a North Carolina car accident can involve a prolonged recovery period that can last days, weeks, or months. During this time, crash victims can miss valuable time from work and may face a long and painful recovery.
Fortunately, there is help available. If you or a loved one have been injured in a crash that was not your fault, you could be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries. North Carolina law provides accident victims with the opportunity to receive reimbursement for their pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and potentially more. The amount of your recovery depends upon many factors, including the nature of your injuries and the extent of your medical bills. Only an experienced attorney can evaluate your case and determine the value of the claim.
