North Carolina HS football player charged for fatal crash that killed two teenagers

William Neumann was an excellent football player at Christ School in Asheville, North Carolina. The all-boys boarding school football star was charged following a fatal accident on April 6 that killed two teenagers and sent two others to the intensive care unit.

Neumann turned himself in to police two days after the incident and was charged with two counts of misdemeanor death by vehicle and one count of reckless driving to endanger.

The arrest warrant states Neumann “unlawfully and willfully” drove a vehicle on I-40 East, “speeding over 100 mph without due caution.” This violation was the “proximate cause of death” of two people, Robert Fox and Sophie Gordon.

Fox, 19, of Wilmette, Illinois, and Gordon, 16, of Charlotte, were rear passengers in the vehicle and died in the accident. Neumann and the front passenger, Hunter Sanford, 18, of Pineville, were transported to Mission Hospital with minor injuries.

Two other teens were rear passengers in the car, Abby Lynn Robinson, 17, of Charlotte, and Isabella Tarantelli, 18, of Charlotte, and were transported to Mission Hospital in critical condition following the crash.

Please keep the families of everyone involved in your prayers as well as those in the emergency room still.
