An investigation into a Nov. 8 crash remains an active one as Highway Patrol continues to look into circumstances surrounding the collision that killed a Massachusetts woman.

Morgan Patten, 24, was killed and a second passenger seriously injured after Hunter Wells, a Camp Lejeune Marine, crashed his Cheverolet Silverado pick-up truck while traveling at a high rate of speed on White Oak River Road near U.S. 17, said Highway Patrol Sgt. John Edwards.

Edwards said Wells went off the side of the road to the right, overcorrected and then crashed after crossing the center line and driving off the left side of the road.

Wells is charged with felony death by motor vehicle, felony serious injury by vehicle, driving while impaired, careless and reckless driving, speeding and other traffic violations.

As Wells awaits his scheduled court date of Dec. 9 in Onslow County, Highway Patrol continues to investigate.

Edwards said the investigation is an active one and they are not releasing any further details of the investigation beyond the basic collision information.
