Reckless Teen Causes Car Wreck, Injures Himself, Kills Passenger
Sixteen year old Cherish Vaughn was killed early morning on July 25, 2007 in a serious car wreck when the driver of a 1997 Ford pickup, identified as Trevor Nease, attempted to pass another vehicle on the right shoulder of Missouri highway 43 in Newton County, Missouri. Seventeen year old Nease and sixteen year old passenger Dustin Watkins were seriously injured. Each were taken to nearby hospitals in Joplin, Missouri.
According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, as the pickup passed the vehicle on the right shoulder, it came back onto the roadway, crossed the center line, ran into a field, and overturned several times, ejecting all occupants.
It is unknown whether Mr. Nease was cited with any Missouri traffic violations.
