Brother Sought in Crash that Killed Dunn Man

Benson, N.C. — The brother of a Dunn man killed in a single-vehicle crash near Benson early Sunday morning will face charges in connection with the crash.

Charges for involuntary manslaughter and felony hit-and-run are pending against Medford Brian Anderson, 24, the brother of Randy Lee Anderson Jr., 30, who died at the scene.

The investigation showed that Brian Anderson was driving 75 mph in a 55 mph zone on SR 1104, lost control of the vehicle and overturned 2 1/2 times, landing in a field near the road on the vehicle’s passenger side about 1:30 a.m., Highway Patrol officials said.

Randy Anderson was ejected from the car and was not wearing a seatbelt, officials said. Brian Anderson and a passenger in the back seat both suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Highway Patrol officials said they are giving Brian Anderson the chance to surrender to authorities voluntarily.

I work with several people in his family and although I haven't known them a great deal of time from what I know of this family they would do anything they can for someone else. I know if I call for help they'd be there. No one should pass judgement on Brian for his actions. I've personally wrecked a vehicle because of doing something stupid and no one can say they know that feeling when they get out of the car look at what they've done and the only thing they can think of is escaping that reality. Rest in peace Randy, and I'm sure Brian has punished himself more than any number of years in prison could ever do.

Between the media and the public the Anderson family has been treated very unfairly. People should not be saying what they would have done if they would have been in Brian's shoes. Hello, it is none of our business as to what all went on whether he fled the scene or not. It is not our responsibility to judge one another. I have known the family for over 9 years and they were the type whom would give you the shirt off their back, even if it meant they had to go lacking. As for the media and public, all the negative criticism should stop, and let this family grieve.

My name is Terri, and although I only knew Randy [[ and his brother ]] for a couple of years, I do have the priviledge of stating to you that I lived net door to Randy for a little over a year and considered him one of my best friends; Almost likea brother. Now, I am not sure what all of this "he said-she said" nonsense is about what happened; But I think it is safe to say that rather than putting the situation down like most of you are when questioning why Brain fled the scene - we need to be concentrating on the fact that we have unfortunately lost a beautiful soul. He loved his brother Brian and I know Brian knew/knows that for a fact. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers and not out of your mouth to gab about.

I know this family and you could not ask for a better christian family. You know even the Bible says those without sin throw the first stone well it looks to me there are alot out there without sin. Brian ran so what maybe he was in shock and panicked but he did come back and turn hisself in. Whos to say you wouldnt of done the same thing. God bless this family through this hard time. There are still alot of hard times still to face this family and hard hearts and forgiveness to be given. I know this family will pull together in love of self and through CHrist they will pull through. Know our prayers and love are with your family in this time of need.
