What Happened at Albemarle Road and W.T. Harris

The collision happened in east Charlotte just before midnight on Saturday night. Medic said five people were hurt: one patient was hospitalized in life-threatening condition, two more were hospitalized with serious injuries and the other two had minor injuries. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said officers found a Volvo, a Chevrolet and a Mitsubishi at the scene. The driver of the Mitsubishi has been identified as Crystal Barrington, 56, who was among the five taken to the hospital and was later pronounced dead there.

Where the Charlotte Police Review Stands

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said traffic was kept off the outbound side of Albemarle Road near W.T. Harris Boulevard after the crash. Officers detoured traffic around the scene into early Sunday morning and investigated there. Police said the Volvo's driver, Treshawn Gerald Wilson, 18, is charged with second-degree murder, driving while intoxicated under 21, felony flee to elude, reckless driving and felony serious injury by vehicle. The investigation is ongoing, and the names of the other people hurt have not been released.

Investigators work quickly at the scene because marks on the road and other evidence fade fast. Much of the slower work happens later, away from the scene.

How we wrote this story

Every report here is built the same way: we pull the facts from published news coverage, cross-check them, and review the story before it publishes. See our full methodology.

How we checked it

The commentary set apart from the reporting is reviewed before it is published. Each contributor is a practising attorney who approved the words attributed to them.

That commentary may draw on prior interviews, and a contributor may not be licensed in your state. It is general information, not specific to the incident in this article, and not legal advice for your situation; for a specific matter, consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Lost someone in a crash like this?

Here is what families in North Carolina usually need, in the order it comes up.

  1. Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.

  2. Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.

  3. Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.

  4. Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.

  5. Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
