A Charlotte couple was killed when their car ran off the road and struck a tree in northeast Charlotte Sunday morning, wbtv is reporting.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the single-vehicle wreck occurred around 1:39 a.m. in the 3400 block of Hubbard Road near Haybridge Road.
Police say 40-year-old Larry Lee Lockhart Jr., aka Moses Lockhart, and 42-year-old Tabitha Denise Staton, aka, Denise “Tabi Tab” Staton, were both killed in the crash. Lockhart was driving a 2012 Dodge Challenger when he lost control and drove off the right side of the road, CMPD said.
