CHARLOTTE, N.C. A woman died when she crashed in Charlotte, N.C., after trying to drive into a pedestrian she knew and had been arguing with, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said.
Ebony Little, 26, tried to hit the pedestrian at about 8 p.m. in north Charlotte. The pedestrian was not hurt, police said.
Little sped inbound on Beatties Ford Road, police said. She drove off the right side of the road onto the sidewalk in the 2900 block, near North Hoskins Road and Interstate 85.
She over-corrected to the left and lost control, causing her 1995 Lexus LS400 to cross the double yellow lane divider and into oncoming traffic, police said.
Little hit an oncoming car, causing the Lexus to roll over onto its roof off the left side of the road. Little was pronounced dead at the scene. The oncoming driver had minor injuries, police said.
Speed and alcohol use by Little contributed to the wreck, according to police.
That is a “designated” area.
Nothing good happens in that area after 8pm...or noon...or even 8am.
“An assault weapon. Nobody needs a weapon with that much power. Its a killing machine.”
Great car! Just sold my ‘91 two tears ago, and was still a joy to drive.
There used to be a common term for old luxury cars that is no longer PC. I’ve even heard some colored folks use it.
Fatal crash after attempted murder.
Best outcome.
Glad other drivers were not hurt.
The old Paul McCartney and MJ song?
We now need background checks at car shows!
Ebony on Black crime?
When Ebony meets the Ivory.
I guess that depends on who was Ebony’s intended victim.
Just a Little!
I still have a Carmageddon cd. I’ll try it on Win 10, but I won’t hold my breath.
And instantaneous at that. It’s too bad that an innocent driver in the other car got hurt though. It would have been a better outcome had she just hit a tree.
Karmas a bitch.
Yeah, I was wondering about the intended victim.
I was gonna say early, “Karma’s a Hillary”, but then.....
Apparently it was more powerful than her dogma.
You can take my sportute when you pry the keys from my cold dead hands. Not before.
Some real justice administered there.
The guy coming the other way was in a Buick Lesabre. Minor injuries. The good old Buicks that they don’t make anymore.
