Authorities reported on September 27 that a teenager from Oxford suffered fatal personal injuries on September 26 when he was struck by a pickup truck while exiting a car.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol said that 15-year-old Sevon Cameron was exiting a car near the intersection of U.S. Highway 15 and Stovall Road around 2 a.m. when he was struck and killed.

Authorities say the pickup’s driver, 36-year-old Oxford resident Curtis T. Cash, drove home and called 911 to report the incident. He was arrested at his home on charges of driving while impaired and felony hit-and-run.
