Longview Woman Pleads Guilty to Hit and Run Accident

LONGVIEW – A former Hallsville school teacher has pleaded guilty to a Longview hit and run accident. Wendy Lee Edney, 41, of Longview, was sentenced Monday to two years probation, 100 hours of community service and 180 days of confinement in Gregg County Jail. Investigators say her blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit at the time of the accident, last April 27th. She had two daughters, ages 7 and 11, in her vehicle when the wreck occurred at the intersection of North Eastman Road and Hawkins Parkway. The other driver involved in the wreck is said to have followed Edney to her Tryon Road home where authorities arrested her.
