 CHARLOTTE, NC — Speed is to blame for a deadly crash that killed an 18-year-old in south Charlotte.  Police say Louis Graham, III was speeding on Marvin Road towards Villa Court Thursday.

He died when his motorcycle hit the front of a van.  Neighbors say motorcycle drivers use Villa Court as a cut-though, and often speed in the neighborhood.

“He was never a risk-taker.  He was a real good dude.  Real good.  But I just hate it happened, you know.  I hate that with a passion,” said south Charlotte resident Octavius Boozier.

CMPD is still investigating and is asking witnesses to call Crimestoppers.  That number is 704-334-1600.
