Two brothers were killed in the Hardee’s Restaurant crash in North Carolina
After an SUV collided into a Hardee’s restaurant in North Carolina, two brothers perished. The brothers were having breakfast inside the restaurant, according to the authorities, who described the incident as a single-vehicle crash.
A Lincoln Aviator smashed into the restaurant in North Carolina earlier – week, killing Christopher Ruffin, 58, and Clay Ruffin, 62. The restaurant is situated 40 miles east of Raleigh, North Carolina, on Forest Hills Road near Wilson.
While Clay Ruffin, Christopher’s older brother, passed away from his injuries at the ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville, the younger sibling was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gabriela Palacios Alonzo, a witness at the scene, described seeing the two brothers on the sidewalk in a “poor state” to the local news station WRAL.
Alonzo reportedly heard a Hardee’s employee scream when she was in the drive-through. She turned back to see the victims laying on the sidewalk and wondered what had occurred.
