MARION — A 23-year old Lenoir man and his passenger were killed after he lost control of his Mustang while speeding on U.S. 221 Sunday and crashed into another car.
The driver, Jeremy Gordon Bolick and his passenger, Charles Thomas Wright, 20, of Blowing Rock, were pronounced dead at the accident scene, about 4 miles north of Marion, N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Thomas Brewer said.
The occupants of the other vehicle, Cynthia and Jeffrey Bassett, both 51, of Flagler Beach, Fla., were taken to Mission Hospital with serious injuries, he said. Both suffered multiple fractures and Jeffrey Bassett had a heart attack following the wreck, Brewer said.
Bolick was traveling around 75 mph in a 50 mph zone when he lost control of his Mustang on wet pavement and crossed into another lane.
The other vehicle, a 2006 Chrysler, was traveling the speed limit and struck the Mustang at the front passenger door, Brewer said.
Blowing Rock Fire and Rescue said Bolick and Wright were members of the department.
The two men had been attending the McDowell Fire & Rescue College before the crash.
