An accident on Interstate 40 West claimed the life of a Morganton man on Saturday, October 7th. Around noon, 46-year-old Wesley Edward Mallory collided with a stationary international tractor-trailer near Exit 146 for Stamey Farm Road.
The initial investigation showed that Mallory, driving a 2018 Ford Fiesta, failed to slow down adequately before the collision. Mallory was pronounced dead at the scene. The tractor-trailer driver sustained injuries from the crash. Authorities confirmed that all parties involved had seatbelts on, and impairment wasn’t a factor.
No charges will be pursued. Following the accident, I-40 West remained closed for approximately two hours. Troopers are continuing their investigation into the incident.
