He was near Enix Road right after midnight when he reportedly drove the van off the road, and then tried to swerve his car back into his lane, but turned it into the oncoming traffic instead, striking a truck.
The truck’s two occupants, Willie Perry and Sir Lawrence Darby, were both killed as well as the passenger in Knox’s van, Tony Roof.
Knox himself was critically injured and Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.
The man, Joseph Knox, is now being charged with a felony DUI that caused death.
