Woman, 94, dies of wreck injuries

A 94-year-old woman involved in a Sunday vehicle accident died this morning.

Police said Sunday’s vehicle death was the Chattanooga’s 19th for 2010.

Chattanooga police say Paralee McWilliams’ Ford Escort was traveling at a high speed on Central Avenue on Sunday evening and she was possibly having a medical problem.

She clipped the rear of a truck that was traveling the same direction and struck a utility pole head on, according to police.

McWilliams was transported to Erlanger hospital, where she died.
