Man rams funeral procession after wife killed
MOUNT AIRY, N.C. -- A Surry County man is facing charges due to his reaction after his wife was killed and son injured in an accident.
Sheriff Graham Atkinson says the accident happened Wednesday afternoon on Quaker Road in Mount Airy.
According to Atkinson, 28-year-old Laura Seal ran her car into a fire truck that was taking part in a funeral procession. She died instantly.
Seal’s son, 3-year-old Levi Willard, was ejected from the vehicle and is now in fair condition at Baptist Hospital.
Atkinson says Mitchell Willard heard about the accident involving his family and went to the scene. Officers say he then intentionally rammed some of the cars involved in the procession.
Willard later turned himself into authorities and is facing charges for assault with a deadly weapon.
