Investigators say that Davis U. Anugo, 32, of Chapel Hill, was driving south on NC 87 in a 2008 Ford Escape when a 2010 GMC Yukon that was driving north on NC 87 went left of center and struck Anugo’s SUV head-on. The driver of the Yukon then sideswiped a 2012 Nissan Versa that was driving behind Anugo.
Anugo died at the scene, according to state troopers. The driver of the Yukon and a passenger were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Nissan was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation and troopers will meet with the Lee County District Attorney’s Office to determine possible charges.
