CLAREMONT, NC – Classmates say high school sophmores Alec Sigmon and Justin Turner were coming from a party when the car they were in crashed around 10pm Friday night. Β
“I had talked to him about 30 minutes before the accident happened, and he didn’t really text back, so I never really thought anything else about it,” says Sigmon’s friend Breanna Walker. She says shortly after that she heard sirens from her bedroom window. Β
Orange spray paint marks the path the car took along Riverbend Road. Classmates from Bunker Hill High School gathered at the spot all day to remember them. Β

We’re told Justin Turner was on the baseball team. Walker says she knew Sigmon best. Β “He would always put a smile on your face and would always be a good friend. And be there for you,” she says.
Β
We’re told three other people were injured when the Mercedes-Benz crashed and that no other cars were involved. We saw neighbors repairing a fence near a tree the car hit.Β Late Satruday night, a rock outside Bunker Hill High School was painted in memory of Alec and Justin.Β

Parents say they’re holding their kids closer. Β Especially Brianna’s mom. Β “He had asked her to come to the house that they were at, and you just stop and think wondering what if I had let her go, they could have been bringing her home,” says Cindy Walker.
