SNOW HILL, N.C. (AP) - The North Carolina Highway Patrol says three people have died and one person was in critical condition after a fiery crash in Greene County.
A Highway Patrol spokeswoman said Sunday that 24-year-old Shirley Francis Mitchell of Greenville and 20-year-old Chiquiti Taylor and 25-year-old Jonathan Darnell Lucas Jr. of Snow Hill were killed in Friday's crash.
Multiple media outlets reported that the injured person was a passenger in Lucas' car and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. That person's name was not released. Taylor also was a passenger in Lucas' car.
Trooper C.B. Kase said Mitchell's Cadillac Escalade crossed the center line on U.S. 13, crashed into Lucas' car and caught fire.
