A high school volleyball player is dead and two fellow athletes in critical condition after a car crash Tuesday evening near West Johnston High School in Johnston County, according to the state Highway Patrol and hospital officials.
Emily Mya, a 16-year-old passenger, died late Tuesday night at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, said Crystal Roberts, spokeswoman for Johnston County schools. The driver, 16-year-old Melissa Willis, is being treated in intensive care at Duke Hospital. Alyssa Heider, 13, is in critical condition at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville.
The teens had spent the day at Tucker Lake outside Benson, said Danny Morgan, captain of Benson Emergency Medical Services. They were headed to volleyball practice at West Johnston High when a truck struck their convertible at the intersection of Elevation and Raleigh roads. The team was gearing up for a tournament this weekend, their first this season.
It took rescue workers 45 minutes to free the teens from the mangled car, Morgan said.
