Teen Hit and Killed by Truck Driver. Father Then Kills Driver: Cops

A North Carolina man has been arrested after he allegedly shot and killed a truck driver who struck and killed his teenage son, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 15, a family of three ran out of gas, as Front Page Detectives reported.

The family was walking down a road when a Department of Correction truck driven by 39-year-old Jeffrey McKay crashed into the youngest member of the family, KFSN-TV reported.

McKay stopped his truck and called 911 and told police he hit the unidentified teenager, who medics pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

Officials claimed the boy’s father, 41-year-old Chad Woods, then pulled out a gun and shot McKay.

Woods’ father Lawrence Clayborn told KFSN-TV, "He was just out of it, going off and stuff. He was going, 'He just killed my son. He killed my son.'"

McKay was rushed to the hospital, but he died en route, officials said.

According to investigators, Woods and the other surviving member of the family then took McKay’s truck and drove it to their home less than a mile away, leaving the boy’s dead body on the road.

After identifying the minor, police were able to track Woods down at his home.

He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and larceny of a motor vehicle, officials said.
