APEX, NC : Boy on scooter killed in Apex crash identified on Tuesday, 30th May 2023

An elementary schooler was killed in a tragic accident on Memorial Day.

Apex police said a 10-year-old boy — now identified as Ayaan Vachery by his school — was riding his scooter in the Woodall Estates Neighborhood in Apex, when he was hit by a car.

Vachery was a fourth grader at Combs Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh. The principal sent out a letter to parents, asking for the community to stick together.

In part, the letter read, “Our condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.”

The tire marks and green spray paint on Woodall Crest Drive are the only remnants of the tragedy.

Vachery’s family, friends, and neighbors are starting to grieve.
