Family members upset over hit-and-run wreck - FOX Carolina 21

An Upstate family said an Inman woman hit their relative while he was riding his moped, sending him to the hospital and her to jail.

Now, there are orange marks spray painted on Goodjoin Road near the intersection of Honeysuckle and Watkins roads in Campobello.

"You can see marks are on the road where his head was at," Gary Watson said.

Gary Watson said his brother, David Watson, was riding his moped home on July 13, when he stopped and pulled onto the shoulder of the road.

"It had been raining and he had problems with his moped," Gary Watson said.

And just when David Watson hopped back on his moped, troopers said a driver hit him.

"He's in pretty bad shape and we just ask for prayers for the family," Gary Watson said. "The moped landed 40 maybe 50 yards away from him."

Troopers said Kathy Hall, 54, was the driver behind the wheel. Witnesses said she kept going then eventually came back.

Investigators charged her with hit-and-run and felony DUI. She was later released from jail on a $25,000 bond.

"She's had some prior bad records of drinking and all. Maybe the justice system should show her a lesson," Gary Watson said.

But for now, his focus is on his brother and his family.

"It's just rough, it's hard," Gary Watson said.

Their father died just days after the wreck.

"He passed away due to the illness that he had plus the bad information that he got on his baby son," Gary Watson said.

Investigators charged Hall back in 2011 with open container in a vehicle and public disorderly conduct.

Family members told FOX Carolina as of Wednesday, July 18, David Watson was listed in critical condition.
