Greensboro, NC (November 25, 2020) – Police confirmed that one person was charged for a fatal collision that took place on a Greensboro highway.
Police confirmed that the accident took place on I-85 in Greensboro when 21-year-old Mickey Jason Ruiz-Vivar was driving his Chevrolet Corvette and collided with a second vehicle for reasons that are still under investigation. He was ejected from his vehicle and landed on the roadway, where he was then struck by a tractor-trailer.
Paramedics were present at the scene of the accident where Ruiz-Vivar was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other driver, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Casey Donlon, was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. He has since been charged with careless and reckless driving, as well as death by a motor vehicle. Police believe that the accident may have taken place due to road rage.
The driver of the tractor-trailer that struck Ruiz-Vivar was not injured but cooperated with police.
The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
