DUI Crash / Serious Injury

Highway Patrol: Mom airlifted in York crash charged with DUI

 

 — A York mother who was airlifted to a Charlotte hospital after she and her baby collided with an oncoming car in York Wednesday morning has been charged with driving under the influence, Highway Patrol officials report.

Shannon McCraw, 34, is charged with driving under the influence, child endangerment, child restraint violations, seat belt violation, failure to register a vehicle, improperly displaying a license and open container, said Lance Cpl. Billy Elder with the Highway Patrol.

McCraw and her 11-month-old son were traveling west on West Old Limestone Road around 8 a.m. when McCraw swerved over the center line of the road and hit Clover's John Dezinney head-on in his 2009 Nissan SUV, Elder said.

Neither McCraw nor her son were properly restrained in seat belts or a car seat, he said.

McCraw was trapped inside her 1997 four-door Chevrolet and had to be extricated, York Fire Chief Domenic Manera said. She and her son were both flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where she's listed in fair condition.

Dezinney, 45, was transported to Piedmont Medical Center by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries. Both McCraw and her baby are expected to survive, Elder said.
