Jacksonville Woman Faces Multiple Felonies After Fatal DWI Crash on Highway 24

Angela Perkins faces multiple felony charges after a deadly impaired driving crash on Highway 24 in Onslow County, leaving one dead and another injured.

Onslow County authorities arrested a local woman accused of driving impaired with children in her car, resulting in the death of one moped rider and severe injuries to another, Sunday afternoon.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol reports that Angela Perkins, 38, of Jacksonville, rear-ended a moped on Highway 24 East near Hubert at approximately 3:40 p.m. The crash claimed the life of 50-year-old Darlene Valentine and left 48-year-old Eric Kane hospitalized at the Naval Medical Center at Camp Lejeune.

Despite both victims wearing DOT-approved helmets, the collision’s force ejected them from the moped, proving fatal for Valentine. Kane remains under medical care for his injuries.
