Highway Patrol Trooper L.B.
Rector identified the victim as
William Rashaan McEachern of
Rt. 1, Box 656, Red Springs.
According to the trooper, tne boy
had just gotten out of his grand
father's car about 9:20 p.m. and
was waiting for an oncoming car
traveling east but then darted onto
the highway apparently without
seeing a westbound auto. The car,
traveling at about 45 m.p.h.,
struck the youngster and the
impact threw him 107 feet, Rector
said.
He was pronounced dead at the
scene by medical examiner Frank
Crumpler.
The driver of the car, a 1968
Ford, was identified as Rex M.
Brewington, 25, of Rt. 1, Box 5%
Pembroke. No charges will be filed
and the accident was termed
unavoidable.
The child was the son of Mary K.
McEachern of Washington, D.C.
