A man is facing multiple charges after a 16-year-old was killed in a Vance County crash over the weekend.

Authorities said a Chevy Tahoe was traveling south on U.S. Highway 1 Business on Saturday and failed to stop for a Honda Accord attempting to make a left turn into a driveway.

Four teens, including the 16-year-old who was killed, were in the Accord, troopers said. The names of the teens were not released.

Ryan Taylor, 29, was charged with felony death by motor vehicle, felony hit-and-run and DWI.

Court records show Taylor was previously charged with DWI in 2016 and 2017.

Authorities said additional charges are pending in the case, which remains under investigation.
