Man Dies Days After A Head-On Collision In Northwest Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC — Officials say 39-year-old Brian Bartlett died Tuesday evening after being injured in an accident on August 18th in northwest Charlotte.

The accident happened around 3:18pm Thursday on Mount Holly Road at Pine Island Drive. Investigators say 49-year-old Matthew Prowker was driving a dump truck westbound on Mount Holly Road when Bartlett crossed the center line in his Mitsubishi Galant and hit him head-on.

Bartlett was taken by Medic to CMC with life threatening injuries where he died days later. Prowker was not injured.

Bartlett and Prowker were both wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Officials say speed was not a factor, but Bartlett was found to be impaired which caused him to cross the center line.
