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.
illegall immigrants can get a NC drivers license through the safe program unfortunately.
Don’t we pray for illegal immigrants too? If not, then who are you praying to? Praying and racism in the same comment. Using praying as a pawn. That’s a mock.
Actually, per the article he nor his passenger were injured, so there is no need for prayer. However, a drunk driver took the life of a 19 year old girl. Not only was he driving drunk, he was driving on a revoked license. The statement was that I hope this was not the case of ANOTHER illegal (meaning shouldn’t be here anyway) taking another innocent life. Yes, I realize citizen does this as well. However, I don’t see how we continue to allow people who shouldn’t be here anyway continue to commit crimes and take lives! If you consider that a racist comment, I can’t help you with that. Illegal comment doesn’t mean someone is racist. You just want that to fit your narrative! If it was your daughter or family member, you might feel differently!
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.
BA, I totally agree with you. Prayers for the family.
I agree completely with your comments. It definitely premeditated murder.
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
Ah the Spa. Hold on fellow Anon. The best is yet to come. #NCSWIC
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.
Every time I turn around. My town and others in JoCo now look like Central America. Go into the schools and it’s even worse. Our pols failed us. I watched over the years as they let more and more in. Many of them causing wrecks. This makes me mad. He was driving on a revoked license drunk. Not only was he not supposed to be driving but he was driving drunk and ran a light and killed a young girl.
Another stolen life. Prayers for the family and friends. Time for the justice system to do their Fk’n job. He should never see daylight again !
They need to be given the death penality if they kill someone especially which alcohol and drugs are involved.
I was nearby and heard the wreck, it sounded like an explosion followed by a terrible sliding sound. I went and saw the aftermath 0 skid marks on the road. It was as if that girls car was the brakes for the truck. Girl and guy never saw it coming. Quite possible someone’s lights weren’t on I mean a .17 is pretty buzzed.
I see a lot of people driving around with no lights on in the dark. Not sure how you forget to turn them on at least before getting out on the road
