A wreck at N.C. Highway 87 Anna Lane near the Rockingham-Caswell County line resulted in major damage to the two vehicles involved. Neither of the drivers were hurt. The N.C. Highway Patrol responded to the scene about 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
Brona Hope Strader, of Reidsville, was driving north in her 1999 Ford Winstar. She said she came to a stop along with the line of cars in front of her when the car at the front of the line turned. Michael James Valencia, of Ruffin, ran into the rear of Strader’s Winstar with his 1991 Honda Accord.
“He hit me so hard it broke the seat. I’ve never been jarred so hard in my life,“ said Strader.
Valencia told the Highway Patrol that he looked down for a moment and didn’t see Strader stop, resulting in the wreck. Valencia was cited with failure to reduce speed.

i dont think what brona said is true about stopping for cars because i saw both the van and the car and if she was hit so hard that it jarred he that hard and from what the van looked like she would of hit some one infront of her but since she did not hit any one infront of her it makes you say hmmmmmm what was she really doing? at the the time of the wreck but on the up and up i am glad no one was seriouly hurt!!!!!
