CORNELIUS, N.C. -- Rusty Wallace, the 1989 NASCAR champion, and his wife escaped serious injury in a two-car accident Monday evening. Wallace and his wife, Patti, were on their way home from the Charlotte airport, returning from a trip to California, when the 2006 Dodge Durango in which they were riding was hit in the driver's door by another motorist who alledegly ran a stop sign. "I've been in a lot of crashes in my time, but that was one of the craziest things I think I've ever experienced," Wallace said. "Patti and I were driving home from the airport, driving the speed limit, somewhere around 45 miles per hour I believe, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I got hit directly in my door. We really got knocked around in there and we're both really sore." The other motorist was also able to walk away from the accident. | |
