Accident Details and Charges
On Thursday evening, a serious accident occurred on Goldmine Road in Burke County, leading to the ejection of Irina Vladimirinova Biddle, 50, from her BMW SUV. Biddle, who was charged with driving while impaired (DWI), failure to maintain lane control, and not wearing a seatbelt, was seen by witnesses swerving before veering off the road and rolling her vehicle. The incident, which happened around 7:46 p.m., has resulted in significant injuries for Biddle, who was ejected through the sunroof.
Response and Ongoing Investigation
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and worked quickly to manage the aftermath, including addressing the presence of Biddle’s dog in the vehicle. The dog was safely taken into custody by Burke County Animal Control, while Biddle’s injuries were severe enough to warrant an airlift to a trauma center. During questioning, Biddle admitted to drinking before the crash, which has compounded the legal ramifications of her actions.
