One Charged Following Fatal Head-On Collision

The vehicle traveled over the center line and crashed head-on with a Chevy Impala.

One person has been charged following a fatal crash in Robeson County.

Around 6:30pm on Saturday, a Honda CR-V was heading west on McGirt Road near Junita Road just outside of Maxton.

The vehicle traveled over the center line and crashed head-on with a Chevy Impala.

Ethel Locklear was the driver of the Impala and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another occupant of Locklear’s vehicle suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Dominique Chavis was the driver of the Honda and sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries and two other occupants of that vehicle suffered injuries believed to be non-life threatening.

Chavis has been charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and driving left of center.

Impairment is not suspected and speed does not appear to be a factor.

Investigators are working to learn more.
