Four North Carolina teens died in a tragic wreck on Memorial Day Weekend 2007- not far from Winston-Salem- in Davidson County. Authories say high speed was the dominant factor. Alcohol was found at the scene.
Chad Calvert's mom cries for him, her son, her "baby." The love this mom has for her son touches me.
Friends remember Jacob Mayo, Chad Calvert, Robert King and Zachary Main at the crash site. The heartbreak is difficult to take in.
The deaths of the four NC teens inspired the NC State Highway Patrol to put more officers on the roads in Davidson County, North Carolina to target speeders, drunk drivers, aggressive drivers and seat belt violators during the month of July.
The families of the dead spoke out with tears and heartache at a news conference on Monday, July 2, 2007.
Casey Bokhoven and The Last Show ~1980-2007~ is a MySpace page dedicated to Casey Bokhoven, age 26, who lost his life in a drunk driving accident charged to local TV news anchor Tolly Carr on March 11, 2007.
Casey was standing on the sidewalk across the street from his home when Carr came down a street closed to construction in his pickup truck, veered off the road and hit Casey with the vehicle landing on him.
This page is also a celebration of Casey's life and a hope that those who meet Casey will realize that "tonight doesn't have to be the last show," if they chose to take a cab or call a sober friend to get them safely home.

Friends mourn- HIGH SPEED- car ripped in half- 4 teens dead Four North Carolinians Killed In Car Crash-
Memorial Day weekend 2007
Four friends were killed in a high speed wreck that was so forceful it ripped out seat belts and sliced the car in half, police say.
Davidson County, NC -- The wreck occurred early Saturday near Thomasville.
Robert King, 20, of Trinity; Jacob Mayo, 19, of northern Davidson County; John "Chad" Calvert, 18, of Thomasville, and Zachary Main, 18, of Kernersville, died in the wreck. Police said alcohol was suspected in the wreck and a blood test was being conducted on the driver. Mayo was driving a 1998 Nissan Altima which ran off both sides of Burton Road, ran a stop sign, hit a wire and then a tree, which cut the car in half, said Highway Patrol Trooper Mickey Mantel. He declined to release an estimate of the speed. "It's going to put a real damper on this summer and it's going to make a lot of people reconsider what they do. It's going to make a lot of people cautious," says
Christopher John, a friend of one of the victims.
The crash was discovered about 8:45 a.m. by a passing driver, who saw a body lying in a field The crash happened about a hundred yards away from the Hasty Fire Department. Firefighters there say they heard a loud sound around 2 a.m. Saturday.But it wasn't until a driver passed by around 9 a.m. when they reported the crash. One firefighter says they thought a car went into a ditch and was able to get out.As of late Saturday, the Highway Patrol said seven people had died in wrecks across the state during the Memorial Day weekend.
