Minnie King White's Car Wreck; October 08, 1981 in Franklinton, NC


Car a total loss, driver unhurt

"She's lucky to be alive," said engineer, E.B. Horne.

Not only is she alive - she's completely unscathed. Mrs. Minnie King White of Chavis St., Franklinton walked away unharmed from what has to be the most un-tragic car-train collision in history.

Thursday, Oct. 1, at approximately 2:35 p.m., Mrs. White was on her way home, heading west on East Mason St., when an eastbound Seaboard freight train appeared from behind an obscuring hedge. Mrs. White had the presence of mind to turn quickly to the right, according to investigating Officer Jackie Stroud, and this combined with the fact that the train was moving only at about 10 mph, probably saved her life. The act of turning the car to the right, said Stroud, prevented a head-on collision and caused the train to merely sideswipe the driver's side of the car.

Although the car, in Stroud's opinion, was a total loss, Mrs. White drove it home after the accident.
