RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. — A motorcyclist is dead after a crash in Asheboro Wednesday night, according to Highway State Patrol.
Troopers say it happened at 5:57 p.m. on US 220 Business at Industrial Park Avenue in Randolph County.
18-year-old Amy Logan Mendoza, of Asheboro, was driving a 2022 Honda Accord passenger vehicle north on US 220 Busines while 24-year-old Chase Logan Fritz, of Asheboro, was driving a 2022 Kawasaki motorcycle south on the same road. Mendoza attempted to make a left turn onto Industrial Park Avenue from US 220 Business, hitting Fritz in the intersection.
Fritz did not survive.
