On Sunday night around 11PM, an individual driving an SUV traveled down Liberty St., failed to stop at the dead end, barreled through the guard rail, and crashed into the 1951 Nash Airflyte displayed in front of The Nash (our old building).
The driver fled the scene without stopping. We have filed a police report with the Winston-Salem Police Department, and the incident is currently under investigation. Unfortunately, this marks the fourth time in the past two years that a vehicle has failed to stop at this dead end and caused damage in this area.
While all previous collisions have thankfully only resulted in property damage, we are increasingly concerned that if these incidents continue, someone will end up getting injured or worse. We are actively working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to improve the visibility of the dead end by adding additional curbing and directional arrows in an effort to help prevent future accidents.
If you recognize the SUV from the video or have any information that may assist in the investigation, please contact the Winston-Salem Police Department. We believe the SUV is a 2005 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (either white or silver), with heavy front end damage.
