HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Caleb Reid, 20, was killed in a single car crash on McCoy Road just after 2 a.m. Saturday.
Reid’s close friend, 22-year-old Evan Purtill, was driving the car and was not seriously injured. Detectives believe that alcohol was a factor in the crash but say they are still investigating.
Reid was pronounced dead at the scene by Medic and Purtill was taken to CMC Main in Charlotte with non life threatening injuries.
It took crews over three hours to operate on the scene. The road between Hambright and Beatties Ford Road reopened shortly after 5 a.m. Saturday.
A close friend of Reid says he was going into the Navy.
No charges have been released.
