HILLSVILLE, Va. -- Three North Carolina residents were killed in a head-on collision on Interstate 77 near the Virginia-North Carolina border.

State police said the driver of a southbound pickup truck lost control, crossed the median and struck a sport utility vehicle shortly before noon Saturday (March 22, 2008)

The three people in the SUV were killed. Police identified them as 45-year-old Jorge Alberto Guerra and 45-year-old Isa E. Dollyhigh, both of Greensboro, N.C., and 73-year-old Coleen Huffman Dollyhigh of Mount Airy, N.C.

State police Sgt. M.T. Conroy said all five occupants of the pickup truck were injured, but none of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening. The driver, Gary Edward Hicinbothem, 46, of Pilot Mountain, N.C., was airlifted to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Conroy said Hicinbothem has been charged with driving under the influence and three counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Most people who drink always assume drinking beer and alcohol is more important than other people's safety. Watch out more drunk accidents coming until the courts / legislators do something responsible and lock up drunks for life. It's bad and getting worse...

I pray for this family and you are all in my prayers although I do not know you. I pray that God helps you in this time. Take care and God Bless. I pray that people take more time to think before they act. No amount is ever a safe amount when it comes to alcohol and driving.
