Carrol Doyle of Rileyville received a sympathetic hearing from Judge Charles Foley in General District Court on Tuesday.

Mrs. Doyle had been charged with hit-and-run following an accident on Rt. 211 west of Sperryville lait month.

Lennum Whorton of Stanardsville testified that he was headed towards Luray and had just passed the High on the Hog Restaurant when he saw a car coming at him.

“We thought it was coming at a high rate of speed,” he said. “Then she lost control and the car swerved first off the pavement to the left, then back across the road into my lane and hit the rear quarter panel of our car,” he added.

“Then the car went back across the road and hit some mailboxes.”

“Then what happened ,” asked Peter Luke, the Commonwealth’s Attorney.

“I stopped and watched as she got out of her car, went around to the front and then got back into the car and drove off,” Mr. Whorton said.

“1 turned around and followed her back towards Sperryville with my lights flashing and honking my horn.

“When 1 saw the Trooper’s car stopped there in Sperryville, I stopped and told him about the accident. She kept on going,” he added.1

Trooper Wayne Sumner testified that he looked at the scene of the accident and found a license plate near the knocked down mail boxes and quickly traced the car back to a dealer in Luray.

He was able to track her down in Silver Spring, Md., and she met w'ith him the next morning, still driving the same car.
