The fifth person since Tuesday has died in a traffic crash.

This morning shortly after 12:30, Jeremy Vinson, 34, of Conway was ejected from his pickup after he apparently negotiated a sharp curve too quickly, said Trooper S. Richardson of the state Highway Patrol.

Vinson’s death marks the fourth death in a traffic fatality in Northampton County since a woman and her son died in a crash outside Seaboard and a Charlotte man died in a collision with a farm spreader outside Garysburg.

His death is the fifth in the area after a woman died in the Enfield area when her car careened into a creek.

Richardson said Vinson was on Burnt Bridges Road in the Conway area when he took a curve too quickly and ran off the left shoulder. He overcorrected the F-250 and the vehicle went to the right, one of the tires catching in the pavement, which caused the vehicle to flip and eject Vinson. Vinson, who apparently was not wearing a seatbelt, died at the scene.

Four other Conway area men were in the vehicle but were not ejected.

Robert Allen Jones Jr., 37, was taken to Roanoke-Chowan Hospital in Ahoskie; David Horton, 54, was taken to Halifax Regional Medical Center in Roanoke Rapids and was being treated for broken ribs; Christopher Wheeler, 35, was taken to the Ahoskie hospital and Beverly Earl Davis, 47, taken to Roanoke Rapids and then flown to Viadent in Greenville, where he was believed to be in stable condition.

The injuries to the four passengers are not believed to be life threatening, Richardson said.

A family member said in an email that Wheeler was treated and released the same day.
