This past Sunday, a 20-year-old Bolivia man was killed in a single-vehicle wreck on N.C. 133 near Belville.
Investigators believe high speed, failure to use seat belts and alcohol are all factors that may have contributed to the wreck that killed Anthony Burgess.
The driver, Efird Johnson, 26, of Bolivia, now faces criminal charges.
While families across this community plan to celebrate the holiday season, it will be a time of mourning and sadness for the families and friends of these two young men.
