CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Investigators say alcohol was a factor in a wreck that killed a man early Monday morning in northwest Charlotte.

Investigators say Nixon’s vehicle struck a GMC Yukon in the intersection. Police say speed was not a contributing factor but they believe Nixon was under the influence of alcohol.
The driver of the Yukon was treated for a minor injury. No other details have been released at this time.
