On March 9, 2008, an 18-year-old senior from Princeton High School was killed in a fatal car accident at the intersection of Brogden and Old Sanders roads, southeast of Smithfield, North Carolina.

The teen girl was driving a 2001 Toyota Celica, and was trying to turn left onto Brodgen Road. Authorities said she failed to yield the right of way, and was then hit by a 2000 Ford Explorer in the driver’s side. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the car accident.

The driver of the Ford Explorer was charged with driving without a license, but will not be charged in connection with the fatality.
