21-year old Marshall Clifford Heckel of Lumberton has been charged with two misdemeanors after the driver error car accident on Monday morning that killed two.

North Carolina State Highway Patrol officials say the accident occurred when Heckel failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection at McQueen Road and Rennert Road in Robeson County.  A truck traveling north bound at about 50 mph did not have a stop sign and struck the passenger side of Heckel’s vehicle after he ran through the stop sign.  The driver of the truck, Fred Nelson Gibbs, died at the scene of the accident.  Heckel’s passenger, 20-year old Brittany Darylin Graybill was taken to a nearby hospital where she later died.

Police officials believe Heckel did not brake at all before running the stop sign and that all three were wearing seatbelts.

Our thoughts and prayers go out the family and friends of those lost in this terrible car accident.
