Mount Airy mayor recovering after wreck

(Winston-Salem Journal) - Early Wednesday morning, Mayor Deborah Cochran was involved in a two-car collision while on her way to work at WSYD. Cochran's 1993 Honda Del Sol was hit by a teenage boy who pulled out of Hylton Street onto North Main Street on his way to Mount Airy High School.

While Cochran prized her little red sports car, she is happy that no one was seriously injured. She said the car sustained pretty severe damage.

"I just thank God. When I was his age, I had an accident too. You look on the positive side, it could have been worse. As much as I've gone through with my family and the sickness that they've had, you just thank God things are as good as they are," said Cochran.
