Huntersville Police Officer Killed In Crash
CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. -- A Huntersville police officer was killed in a crash in Catawba County early Monday morning.
Kimberly Sue Nesbitt, 43, of Mooresville, was killed in the crash on Lowrance Road, according to the Highway Patrol. She was off-duty at the time of the accident, which happened at about 6 a.m.
Lowrance Road is two miles south of the city of Catawba. Troopers said Nesbitt over corrected after her right side wheel went off the road. She crossed over both lanes, went into a ditch and then crashed into a tree, troopers said. They said speed was not a factor in the crash.
"I looked outside and saw the car," Bradley Yount, whose yard Nesbitt crashed into, said. "It was in pretty bad shape."
Nesbitt wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, according to troopers. She died at the scene of the crash.
No one else was in the car during the crash, and no other vehicles were involved.
Nesbitt has worked for the Huntersville Police Department since 2007. She was working as an investigator with the Criminal Investigations Unit at the time of her death.
Trooper Ryan Rudisill responded to the crash and said his heart goes out to her department.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the community in Huntersville," he said.
Troopers said they are waiting for a medical examiner’s toxicology report to determine if alcohol or any other impairing substances were a factor in the crash.
