Two killed in wreck on Highway 64 near Pittsboro

Troopers said the wreck happened at about 8:30 p.m. when Taveon Anthony Machen, 18, of Greensboro, failed to yield the right of way when pulling onto the highway from Alex Cockman Road. A Kia SUV traveling east on U.S. 64 hit Machen's car, causing it to spin around. Machen's car came to rest in the median. Machen was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the Honda, 18-year-old Kavasia Kasan Hatch, of Pittsboro, was ejected from the car through the rear window and landed on the westbound shoulder of the highway.

Hi, Jessica. Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention. It looks like the age was initially mistakenly reported but has since been corrected, so I've updated both our source's info and our accident report. Jane Lindelof, Accident Data Center staff
