CLAYTON – A 48 year-old Selma man is charged with felony death by motor vehicle, driving while impaired, driving on a revoked license, and a stop light violation following a fatal accident Friday morning in Clayton.
The collision occurred around 2:30am on Clayton Boulevard (US Highway 70 Business) near the Town Centre Boulevard intersection.
Clayton Police said J. Guadalupe Moreno Nieves of Selma was operating a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado westbound on Clayton Boulevard and failed to stop for a stoplight. His truck collided with a 2019 Nissan Sentra that was pulling out of a parking lot driveway near the Waffle House. The driver of the Nissan, a 19 year-old female, was killed in the collision. Her name was not immediately released.
Nieves and a passenger in the pickup were not injured.
Nieves was held under a $5 million bond at the Johnston County Detention Center in Smithfield.
Clayton Boulevard was closed in both directions for approximately five hours due to the accident. It reopened around 7:30am.
She was so young. Just had got off work with her coworkers to enjoy her evening at waffle house & drunk driver just kills this beautiful girl full of life. Praying for her family & MM Team in Clayton.
Hopefully, this isn’t another death caused by an illegal immigrant. He probably was uninsured as well. My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
Hopefully he’s a citizen , that’s ok though right ?
If guy is not here legally then he wouldnt have been on the road(license already suspended) and wouldnt have been able to cause a wreck that killed a woman.
Praying for her parents and family. I can’t imagine what they are going through. Anyone that gets behind the wheel of a vehicle drunk should be charged with First Degree Murder. I am so sick of hearing it wasn’t premeditated…yes it was. These folks with no license, no insurance and going around killing innocent people should have the harshest punishment thrown at them. It makes me sick to my stomach that they get away with this over and over again.
Deport ASAP
Charge him with first degree murder. Only justice I can see.
I’m guessing that this isn’t going to stop any time soon. My thoughts and prayers to the family. I can’t imagine thee horror they’re experiencing. But let’s not ignore the elephant in the room until we see safer roads.
We keep hearing more of the same over and over. Many (not all) people are here who have no respect for our laws and are a real danger to us.
I hear there’s a nice spot in cuba for him
They need to get this person off the street and throw away the key, my daughter is one of the young ladies friends, and she is in shock. Think about what you’re doing and who it might affect before you get behind the wheel of an automobile. Don’t make your problems other people’s problems.
