Being hit by a car is a possibility Wes Derby has faced his entire life, but when it actually happened, it still turned his world upside down. “All I could think is, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to die,’” Derby said. Derby is blind but has learned to navigate life independently. Have the day's biggest stories arrive in your inbox every day at 8 p.m. “If I want to go somewhere, I get up and go, but now I have to think about, ‘Okay, can I afford the Uber to go there, because I’m not walking,’” he said. Derby and his housemates all face unique challenges. One roommate shares his blindness, while the other has lived with a traumatic brain injury since her teen years. On Tuesday, they were walking home from a restaurant in the Town Center, less than five minutes from their home, when a truck hit them in the crosswalk. “All I remember is Helen screaming, impact, I fall face first. Helen is probably about ten feet in front of me because she flew over the hood of the truck, and then Clara is screaming behind me,” he said. Emergency crews arrived on the scene in minutes. Derby and his roommates were taken to the hospital, where one has a number of broken bones, and the other is set to have her jaw wired shut. “The final verdict for me was a broken left hand. I had lacerations on my knees, my head, my hands, my wrists,” Derby said. They’re thankful to have survived, but Derby points out that this incident highlights a bigger issue: the safety of blind individuals. “A lot of blind people do end up getting hit by cars; it’s just a thing that happens,” he said. They picked the Daleville Town Center because of its walkability. “Have you ever felt unsafe doing that?” 10 News Anchor Abbie Coleman asked. “No, not until this time. Although, I’ll tell you, it’s given me pause before wanting to walk anywhere,” Derby said. The 29-year-old Jordan Cox driver is charged with failing to yield to pedestrians. “To Jordan Cox, if he is watching, man, I forgive you for what happened. I know you didn’t leave your house and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to mow down three disabled people in my truck. I don’t know you, but I’m sure you’re not that kind of person,” Derby said.

Last February, 310 homes were sold, and the average home price was $328,325. The Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors serves Bedford, Botetourt, Craig, Franklin and Roanoke Counties. The group also serves Roanoke and Salem Cities. Johnson noted that right now, there are about 750 to 800 homes on the market in the Roanoke area selling between $250,000 to $300,000 for a single-family home. He said some advice for anyone who has a home on the market is to meet with an agent who knows how to stage, market and price the property well. “That’s the number one indicator of how fast a home will sell. If you price it right, and if you have it in good condition, it shows well,” said Johnson. Johnson advised that if you’re looking to buy right now, it’s important to have a good agent as well. “Get with a good agent that’s going to teach you how to make offers, how to shop for homes, and things that are important to you. And also get with a good lender that’s going to give you information on what you can afford and what that payment ultimately looks like on a monthly basis,” said Johnson. For anyone concerned about a recession, Johnson offered this advice: “I think in Roanoke, the market is going to dictate kind of what you need to do. And so it would be just what works best for you and your circumstance. So again, just taking your time and educate yourself,” said Johnson. As for the Wrights, Naomi Wright said they have already found a home they want to buy. They are just waiting to sell their current home that they bought for a little under $300,000. However, with the renovations they made, they’re selling it for $400,000. “It’ll be sad to leave this place, but we’ll be happy to start fresh in a new place with new memories,” said Wright.
