MOTORIST FROM AVON KILLED IN N.C. 12 CRASH WITH TRUCK----
An avon man was killed wednesday when he was thrown from his vehicle after it was struck by a tractor-trailer.
Justin Keith Yopp, 18, was pronounced dead shortly after the 3 pm accident, police said.
According to Suzette Wells-Davis of North Carolina Highway Patrol, the accident report said Yopp was southbound on N.C. 12, south of Salvo, when the truck, driven by Ronald Edwards Betts, 43, of Portsmouth, ran off the northbound lane to the right, steered back to the road,then crossed the center line, hitting Yopp's 1989 chevy pickup.
Yopp's vehicle spun around, and he was ejected onto the east shoulder of the road. He was transported to Avon Medical Center.
The tractor-trailer, owned by Ryder Transportation Services of Richmond, came to rest across both lanes of N.C. 12. Betts was uninjured and declined to be transported to a medical facility.
Betts was not charged.
" They say the good die young,
Thats why I think that you should have fun (when your young)
Cos time won't wait for noone (uh huh)
When god calls, you gotta go home (go home)
They say the good die young, (die young)
Thats why I know that we go' have fun,
In this life cos you only get one
When God calls for me, don't cry I just went home
1000 words cant bring u back, i know because ive tryed...neither could 1000 tears i know because ive cryed---

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
