Alcohol, drugs not suspected in Johnston County crash that killed 4 teens
RALEIGH, N.C.(WNCN) — One week after four teenagers were killed in a Johnston County crash, a new state highway patrol report shows troopers did not suspect drugs or alcohol were involved.
The driver of the fatal wreck was identified as 17-year-old Alan Lee Lockamy. Freddy Seras, 17, was a passenger in the front seat while Semaj Lejai Williams, 16, and Christopher Wayne Jackson, 17, were in the back seat, troopers said.
According to a North Carolina State Highway Patrol report, Lockamy was driving in a ‘careless and reckless manner’ ahead of the crash that shut down a portion of I-95 northbound near Brogden Road. The report said he was driving 100 miles per hour as he attempted to exit a ramp.
Lockamy’s Kia Soul continued at an estimated 100 miles per hour when it collided with a tree and came to a stop.

According to NCSHP, a trooper clocked Lockamy traveling at 104 miles per hour. The trooper, who had been in the median, attempted to catch up with the speeding vehicle but had not initiated a traffic stop or pursuit, NCSHP said.
