The alley is actually marked for one way use traveling east to west. Simpson came through the intersection while Coady was traveling north on Elevator Street. Coady said she did not see Simpson. Simpson was cited for failure to reduce speed and operation of uninsured motor vehicle.
Taylorville Police were called to the parking lot of CNB Bank around 3:30 p.m. on July 9th for a report of a traffic accident involving a maroon vehicle. Officers later located one of the vehicles parked in the old CNB location, now used by the USDA. The driver of that vehicle, Angela Moriarty of Gays, IL told officers she was heading north on North Webster Street when a white truck made a sudden turn into her, striking her vehicle. She pulled off the road into the next parking lot, but the truck did not stop or follow. Officers searched the area for the second vehicle using debris found at the intersection of Webster and Wilson. The suspect vehicle and driver were not found at the scene. Later, the grandmother of the other driver contacted police to say her granddaughter had been driving the truck and had initially waited at a nearby Taco Bell before returning to Kincaid. She was advised to bring both the vehicle and driver to the Taylorville Police Department for further investigation. The driver was identified as Chelsea L. Pellinghelli of Kingwood, Texas. No injuries were reported, and the driver of the damaged vehicle refused medical treatment and left the scene under her own power.
