Deputies Seek Info on Pedestrian-Vehicle Crash in Dresden
The Lincoln County Sheriff s Office is hoping to hear from anyone with information about an accident in Dresden that claimed the life of a 40-year-old pedestrian.
Officials say Eve Russell-Edmonds of Woolwich was walking along Route 127, also known as the Middle Road, in Dresden just after 5:00 Friday evening. About a quarter-mile south of the Indian Road intersection, she was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by Matthew LaRochelle, 44, of Richmond. Investigators told WABI-TV the driver was unable to see the woman, prior to the crash, because she was wearing dark clothing. Speed and alcohol are not believed to have been factors in this accident.
