Fatal Fayetteville car crash death of Zachary Salley – Obituary
In a tragic incident that unfolded on Saturday night, a Fayetteville resident, Zachary Salley, met an untimely demise in a multi-vehicle collision.
According to the accident report, the calamity occurred a little after 6 p.m. when a 2012 Honda came to an abrupt halt while heading eastbound on West Mount Comfort Road in Fayetteville. The driver was attempting a left turn into a driveway.
Subsequently, a 2014 Honda stopped behind the first vehicle, responding to its driveway-bound maneuver.
Tragedy struck when a 2008 Ford, traveling in the same eastward direction and apparently failing to notice the stationary vehicles ahead, abruptly veered into an adjacent lane, as detailed in the official report.
In the tumultuous course of this sudden swerve, the front right side of the Ford collided with the left rear of the 2014 Honda.
The Ford, now dangerously out of control, careened into a westbound lane, resulting in a devastating head-on collision with a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Zachary Salley, the 43-year-old motorcyclist, bore the brunt of this catastrophic encounter and was tragically pronounced deceased at the accident scene.
Fortunately, no additional injuries were reported amongst the other parties involved. Zachary Salley’s lifeless body was transported to the Washington County Coroner’s Office, marking a somber conclusion to this heart-wrenching incident.
