A car was found wrecked and abandoned Sunday afternoon on New Hope Road at Walker Creek between Temperance Hall and Alexandria. The vehicle left the road, knocked over a road sign at a bridge, and crashed into a tree, straddling the creek.
Meanwhile in a separate incident, the driver of a 2008 Nissan Titan truck wrecked on Short Mountain Highway Sunday night. The truck was traveling north when it left the road and overturned in a church parking lot before coming to rest upright in a field. The driver apparently fled the scene but a passenger was questioned and charges could still be filed.
