GREENSBORO, N.C. — Several drivers called in to Guilford Metro 911 Wednesday morning, reporting a series of bizarre events: a driver, heading the wrong way down one road - then the wrong way on I-73, before plummeting off an overpass.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says Douglas Eddie Kilgore, 47, of Greensboro, was killed, after driving the wrong way on I-73 north, when he went off an embankment and ended up on Business I-85 northbound. Troopers say driving the wrong way, speed, and not wearing a seat belt contributed to the outcome of the crash.
