According to the Huntersville Police Department, a 2015 Nissan Armada was believed to have been involved in a separate collision and was traveling north on Beatties Ford Road. That driver did not stop following the initial collision and lost control while going around a slight curve.

The vehicle then veered off the right side of the roadway, struck a large boulder at the base of a stone wall, and overturned. Speed is believed to have been a contributing factor, according to police.

The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Nathaniel John Jones-Bey, died at the scene.

However, the incident remains under investigation by the Huntersville Police Department.
