19-year-old killed in Clayton Blvd crash; driver faces DWI charges
SUMMARY: A tragic crash on Clayton Boulevard resulted in the death of a 19-year-old, with driver Jay Guadalupe Moreno Neas, 48, facing DWI charges. Police report that Neas had a blood alcohol content of .17, over twice the legal limit. He ran a stoplight, striking the victim’s car. Charged with felony death by motor vehicle, DWI, and other offenses, Neas’s actions serve as a reminder of the dangers of drunk driving, which accounts for a significant number of traffic fatalities. In response, North Carolina has introduced House Bill 400, aiming to impose stricter penalties on impaired drivers. Neas is scheduled to return to court on April 3rd.

A 48-year-old man was charged with driving with no license and DWI in a “completely preventable” deadly crash.
