Authorities nab man accused of DWI in deadly 2013 crash

LENOIR, N.C. — Officers arrested a man six years after they said he caused a deadly crash in Lenoir.

Officers near Charleston, South Carolina made the arrest after Lenoir police got a tip.

Neal Audet is accused of driving under the influence when the crash happened in 2013 on Zacks Fork Road.

Brian Carroll was killed in the wreck.

Audet was airlifted to a hospital after the crash. By the time he was indicted by a grand jury, he had left the area.

It wasn’t until last week that police got a tip and found him living in Berkley County, South Carolina where he was arrested.

He was charged with DWI and aggravated death by motor vehicle.
