DENVER MAN DIES IN WEEKEND WRECK

By Jon Mayhew

DENVER -- Alcohol may be a factor in a weekend accident that killed a Denver man.

Around 11:40 p.m. Sunday night, authorities from Denver Fire Department, Lincoln EMS, East Lincoln Rescue, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and the North Carolina Highway Patrol were called to the 5700 block of Mundy Road off Highway 16.

Ernest Ronald Payne Jr., 25, died after his vehicle crossed a center line and struck a tree. NCHP Trooper C. Kasey investigated the incident.

Lincolnton Police were called to an address they believed Payne's family lived; however, the residence was vacant.

An unidentified passenger in Payne's vehicle wasn't seriously injured according to the NCHP report.
