Charlotte, North Carolina
One person has died following a wreck Friday night in Charlotte.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to a crash just before 8:30 p.m. on North Tryon Street near Dorton Street.
Upon arrival, police found a damaged motorcycle, a damaged Honda and an unresponsive male in the roadway.
The male was identified as Reginald Page. Police say he was traveling at a high rate of speed when he struck a Honda that was leaving a parking lot. Page continued to drive a short distance before stopping and becoming engulfed in fire.
The Honda was driven by a 15 year-old female. No impairment was detected, and she was the only passenger in the vehicle. She did not have a driver’s license. A juvenile arrest was completed and she was released to a guardian.
Excessive speed from Page appear to be a contributing factor. Police say Page did not have a motorcycle endorsement on his license.
This is an ongoing, active investigation.
