Princeton, N.C. — An 18-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a wreck with a vehicle on Rains Mill Road near Old Cornwallis Road Saturday afternoon, the state Highway Patrol said.
Tyler Dean Smith, of Princeton, crossed the center line and hit a minivan head-on, troopers said.
Police said driver's inexperience played a role in the wreck. Smith had not completed the training class and test required to receive an endorsement to drive a motorcycle.
No one in the minivan was injured.
