A wreck on Homeland Road in Culpeper led to a crash and then a DUI conviction for one local resident.  According to Virginia State Police, Culpeper resident Timothy O’Roark sideswiped a Dodge Neon in the early evening his past Friday.

The impact of being hit by O’Roark’s vehicle, a Ford Ranger, caused the driver of the Neon, Miranda Settle, to go over an embankment and land in a cattle watering hole.  After the collision O’Roark continued to driver for another quarter-mile without a front tire before stopping at Creek Crossing Road.

According to a witness O’Roark crossed the yellow lane divider line to strike Settle’s Neon, and nearly hit another car as well.
