Morris Lee Wilks II, 20, of 100 Farrington Dive, Apt. F, was charged Wednesday with felony death by vehicle. He was initially charged with driving while impaired, reckless driving and a provisional license violation.
The charges stem from a crash last Friday morning on Mount Vernon Church Road. Authorities said Wilks' 2007 Toyota ran off the road and hit a tree and a rock wall.
Simon Peter Curran, 21, of Raleigh, was killed in the crash. Wilks and another passenger, Marquian Javon Sanders, 19, of Raleigh, suffered minor injuries.
