STATESVILLE, NC : 3 killed in crash on Interstate 40; box truck driver charged on Thursday, 27th February, 2020
Statesville, North Carolina
Three Georgia men helping to install a guardrail on Interstate 40 in North Carolina were killed when a box truck hit a construction truck, pushing the truck into them as they stood in the road, the N.C. State Highway Patrol said Thursday.
The three died when a box truck driven by Logan Lee Casey, 27, of Cary struck the rear of a stationary construction vehicle that was equipped with a crash cushion and a board with a lighted directional arrow indicating a lane closure, the patrol told news sources. That crash shoved the construction vehicle into the workers.
Noah Logan Hamilton, 22, of Bonaire, Georgia; and Austin Melton, 21, and Dustin Gelinas, 20, both of Jesup, Georgia., were working for a contracted crew repairing a guardrail when they were struck and killed around 3:25 a.m. Thursday, said Master Trooper Jeffrey Swagger.
