A gentleman named James Henry Githens Jr. was tragically killed on Saturday evening in an accident in Salisbury, North Carolina.  Mr. Githens was riding his motorcycle on Bendix Drive in front of the Economy Inn when a Chevrolet Monte Carlo pulled into his path.

There is very little information available about the driver of the car that hit Mr. Githens and there are no reports of charges against the driver.  In most cases similar to this, the driver would be charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.  If the driver of the car was impaired in any way, the charges would likely escalate to felony death by motor vehicle.

Mr. Githens was survived by a fiance and a 10 year old son.
