FayObserver.com (North Carolina), "1 dead, 4 injured in van crash on I-40"

A single-vehicle accident on Interstate 40 left one person dead in Sampson County on Sunday afternoon, delaying traffic in the westbound lanes of the interstate for nearly two hours. Killed was Jon Trevor Butler, 28, of Cimmeron Drive Myrtle Beach, S.C. The accident happened at 3:20 p.m. on I-40, 8 miles west of Faison around the 350-mile marker, said Sgt. Joel Siles of the state Highway Patrol.

Five members of a rock band, in the midst of a tour of the East Coast, were riding in the vehicle, a 1991 Ford work van. Traveling west, the van veered off the road following a blowout of the right rear tire, Siles said. The van then overturned several times, throwing Butler from the vehicle. Butler, who was sitting in the center of the second seat, was the only passenger who was not wearing a seatbelt, according to Siles.
