New court documents obtained by the ABC11 I-Team reveal more details about the
deadly crash near the University of North Carolina that killed one student.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. Jan. 21 about 10 minutes from the university’s campus along NC-54 at West Barbee Chapel Road.
One UNC student died in the crash, and another was injured. Now the ABC11 I-Team has learned a third student, who is a member of the Tar Heel football team, is facing criminal charges related to the case.
Documents reveal the driver of the crashed car, 21-year-old Flemeeja Beatrice Brewer, was traveling 124 miles per hour at the time of the crash. The posted speed limit in the area is 45 miles per hour.
Brewer lost control of the vehicle, which then flipped over and landed in a culvert.
There were two passengers in the vehicle with Brewer when the crash happened. Molly Rotunda, 20, was a classmate at UNC with Brewer. She died in the crash.
