SMITHFIELD, N.C. -- A fight in a parking lot followed by a high-speed getaway led to a car accident that killed an 11-year-old boy Saturday morning in Smithfield, police said.

Police said 11-year-old Craig Euell was killed when the van he was traveling in slammed into several horse trailers. Another child riding in the van was seriously injured, and the van?s driver -- 43-year-old Kenneth Marlboro -- also was taken to the hospital.

Police said Marlboro was traveling with a group from Florida when a fight broke out in a parking lot at a gas station near I-95 in Johnston County.

Peggy Spivey, the manager of the gas station, said she was working behind the counter when Marlboro started fighting with another man in the group.

"That's when I got on the phone and called the law," Spivey said.

When police arrived to the scene at about 6:30 a.m., Marlboro pushed a woman and then took off with the woman's two children in a van, police reported.

"Oh, he was flying," Spivey said. "There was a red truck coming that way, and I don't know how he missed it but he did. But he was gone."

A trooper with the N.C. Highway Patrol clocked Marlboro traveling 106 miles per hour through downtown Smithfield, where the speed limit was 25, police said.

Police then discovered that the van had flipped on Highway 70 Business, near Wilson Smith Road, and slammed into four horse trailers at a horse trailer dealership in Smithfield. Police said Marlboro lost control of the vehicle, and they had not chased him.

"It looked like he jumped the fence and hit the first horse trailer and pushed it into the next one before it landed and all kinds of parts hit the next two horse trailers," Stacey Whitley, owner of the dealership, said.

Police said Euell, the 11-year old, died at the scene. Police have not released the condition or the identity of the other child traveling in the van.

Marlboro has been charged with second-degree murder. Police believe a family feud led to the argument in the parking lot.

1989 Chrysler Turbo models won't do it out of the box, but they certainly will when you fiddle with them a bit. And they'll even *TRY* to turn, for you, too.

But it doesn't take ANYTHING exotic to do 106MPH and crash. You can do that in a Civic with lead weights in the trunk.
 
Ahh...the reason I had no clue where Smithfield was, is that its east of Raleigh.

And no, more like: Only in NC, SC, GA, MS, AL, LA.
 
You know, being a father myself I was amazingly upset when I started reading the artilcle; at first I thought they where his kids and he was just being a hot headed idiot and was trying to chase down someone in a fit of road rage. Then I found out that they wheren't even his kids. I'm still upset, but it is for a different reason now.

and by the way, Amplifier, you're an ass.

Almost any vehicle can do 106. I remember a while back looking at some website and I don't think there were very many vehicles that couldn't do that.
I won't even get into how wrong the whole thing was. Lets just say it's too bad the ahole lived.
