A wild crash caught on camera in Lexington has landed a 25-year-old Winston-Salem man in jail on a stack of felony charges, after a white Honda was shot at, flipped, and landed upside down in a front yard. One passenger was seriously hurt, and the fallout is now unfolding in a Davidson County courtroom.
Video from the scene shows the Honda rolling and coming to rest on its roof in the yard of a home on West Center Street, where a neighbor said a passenger was thrown out through the rear window. According to KXAN, prosecutors say the wreck followed a pursuit and gunfire aimed directly at the car.
Prosecutors Describe Chaotic Pursuit And Gunfire
In court, the assistant district attorney told the judge that the defendant "was pursuing the white honda and started shooting at it," according to testimony reported by KXAN. Warrants state that the suspect used a Chrysler Town and Country van to assault two people and fired a handgun into the occupied Honda on June 7.
Charges, Bond And Court Timeline
Authorities have identified the suspect as 25-year-old Jaden Rayne Fishel of Winston-Salem. He is charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, one count of discharging a weapon into occupied property, and one count of discharging a firearm within city limits. Court records show Fishel is being held on a $750,000 bond, which a judge refused to reduce because of the violent nature of the allegations. His next court date is set for July 31, 2026.
Family And Neighbors Recount The Violent Wreck
According to court testimony, the female passenger told investigators she had reached out to Fishel's mother for help before the crash. Her stepfather told local television that "justice has just begun to be served." Neighbor Laina Kannegieter said the Honda flipped and that the woman was thrown from the front seat through the back window as the car landed. Nexstar's WGHP reported the family's comments and the reaction in the neighborhood.
Legal Stakes Ahead
The charges against Fishel are felonies that carry significant prison time if he is convicted, and prosecutors argued at a recent hearing that the violent accusations justify keeping bond high. Defense counsel asked the court to lower the amount, but the judge declined, citing the seriousness and alleged premeditation of the conduct. The case is expected to continue moving through district court in the coming weeks.
What Comes Next
Fishel remains in custody as investigators and prosecutors continue building their case, and the judge has scheduled additional hearings ahead of the July session. According to public court filings and broadcast reporting, anyone who has information or video related to the incident is being urged to contact local authorities.
