Independence Crash Kills Terryn Desravines, Brooke Peters

Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Major Crash Investigation Unit are investigating a fatal vehicle crash in the Providence Division.

On Thursday, December 1, 2022, at approximately 12:34 a.m., Providence Division officers responded to a two vehicle crash in the 1900 block of E. Independence Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers located a 2018 Lexus IS300 with extensive damage and a 2019 Honda HR-V Sport with heavy right rear damage. Two people were located lying in the roadway with life threatening injuries.  The driver of the Honda was located inside the vehicle with serious injuries.  

Medic arrived on scene and pronounced the two people lying in the roadway deceased on scene.  The driver of the Honda was transported by Medic to Atrium Health Main with serious injuries.

CMPD's Major Crash Investigation Unit, the DWI Task Force and Crime Scene Search responded to the scene to conduct an investigation.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the Lexus was traveling east on E. Independence Boulevard at a high rate of speed, when it struck the rear of the Honda causing both vehicles to lose control. The impact of the crash caused the Lexus to flip and eject the driver, Terryn Desravines, and passenger, Brooke Peters, from the vehicle. Both subjects were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.  The families of Terryn Desravines (DOB: 11/10/1999) and Brooke Peters (DOB: 08/30/2001) have been notified of their deaths.

The driver of the Honda, Brian Aurillo (DOB: 08/23/1964), was screened for impairment and found not to be impaired at the time of the crash.

Impairment and speed are believed to be factors in this crash.
