Charlotte, N.C. – (Tuesday, September 19, 2023) – Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Major Crash Investigation Unit are investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash in the Steele Creek Division.

On Monday, September 18, 2023, at approximately 12:52 p.m., officers responded to a motor vehicle crash call for service in the 2800 block of Sandy Porter Road. Upon arrival, officers located a 2005 Buick Lacrosse with extensive passenger side damage and a 1998 Ford Econoline van with heavy front-end damage in the roadway.  MEDIC responded to the scene and pronounced the driver of the Buick, Issac Lindsey Huey Jr. (DOB: 11/9/1976), deceased due to injuries sustained in the collision.
