Summary

Dui Crash Goldsboro North Carolina in Goldsboro, North Carolina: On Tuesday at 10:42 p.m., a man and woman were hospitalized after a two‑vehicle collision on U.S. 70 West in Goldsboro, North Carolina. The incident involved Nyasia Tykirah Faison (20) driving westbound in a 2012 Chevrolet when Jareyon Omari Powell (20), driving a 2003 Chevrolet SUV at 80 mph in a 55‑mph zone, entered the left lane and collided with Faison’s rear left corner. After the impact, Faison lost control, ran off the road, struck the guardrail, and came to rest on the center median; Powell was ejected when his vehicle rolled over. Police determined the crash was intentional and linked it to a domestic disturbance. Both occupants were taken to UNC Health Wayne for non‑life‑threatening injuries, with Powell later transported to ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville. Warrants were issued against Powell on multiple charges including attempted first‑degree murder, DWI, and reckless driving, which will be served after his hospital release.
