Fatal Apex car crash death of Jhony Villatoro-Ramos

In the early part of Sunday evening, a 16-year-old individual unfortunately passed away as a result of a collision that occurred on U.S. Highway 64, situated near Shepherds Vineyard Drive within the town of Apex. This incident led to injuries for two other young people, including the person driving the vehicle, who subsequently received legal charges.

The person who passed away was identified as Jhony Villatoro-Ramos, who was sixteen years of age and in his third year at Mary Phillips High School. This educational institution is positioned to the east of St. Augustine’s college and is located less than one mile from William G. Enloe High School.

Apex law enforcement were alerted to the accident on U.S. 64, close to Knollwood Drive, at approximately 10:30 p.m. According to the details provided by the police, a white Chevrolet Malibu, heading east on the highway, was going above the allowed speed limit when it departed the road, soared into the air, and flipped multiple times.

It was reported by the authorities that Jhony Villatoro-Ramos was seated in the rear compartment of the car. During the violent motion of the crash, he was partially thrown from the vehicle and did not survive, with his death occurring right at the scene. The seventeen-year-old who was operating the car and a different sixteen-year-old in the front seat were taken to a hospital in the area for treatment of their injuries.

The Apex police have brought charges against the young driver, citing a lesser crime caused by driving a car. Law enforcement stated that the driver did not hold a valid driving permit and that further accusations could be considered.

At the accident location, a police officer informed WRAL News that two trees were preventing the arrival of the towing vehicle from removing the car from the wooded region. The process took several hours, and the automobile was finally taken away at 6 a.m. once an additional towing service arrived on the scene.
