It’s unfortunate that this motorcyclist died Friday night, but it’s also unfortunate the driver was charged in the accident.
I’m sorry for the family of Mr. Johnson, but if you drive recklessly at almost twice the speed limit and someone turns in front of you, it’s your fault. I hope the charges are dropped against Ms. McCormick.
Officers who investigated the crash that killed Samuel Zachary Johnson, 24, of 220 Elizabeth St. in Chapel Hill said they found 114 feet of skid marks at the scene on westbound Glenwood Avenue between Triangle and Angus drives.
Police charged the driver of the car, Carolyn McCormick, 37, with a safe movement violation and misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. They estimated that her 1993 Chevrolet was going about 10 mph as she was pulling out of parking lot at 9016 Glenwood.
