    The mother of a 3-year-old boy who died in a car crash in Sampson County was charged in connection with his death.

    According to court documents. Brittiney Nicole Simmons, 33, was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle from a crash on Oct. 16 on Autry Mill Road.

    Highway Patrol said Simmons was driving a Ford Expedition while traveling north when she ran off the road. Troopers said she then overcorrected, reentered the roadway and ran off the left shoulder before hitting a ditch and a tree. Her SUV flipped several times before coming to a stop in a yard.

    3-year-old Walker Lambert, who was Simmons’s son, was killed in the crash, while her other two children, a 13-year-old and a 5-year-old, were taken to the hospital.

    Troopers told WRAL News that Simmons was the only person in the SUV wearing a seatbelt and that speed was a factor in the crash.

    A 3-year-old boy is dead and three more people were seriously injured in a crash Tuesday night in Sampson County.

    According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, troopers responded to a single-car crash around 6:34 p.m. on Autry Mill Road near U.S. Highway 13.

    According to the Highway Patrol’s preliminary investigation, a 2004 Ford Expedition was traveling north on Autry Mill Road when it ran off the road. The driver then overcorrected, reentered the roadway and then ran off the left shoulder before hitting a ditch and a tree. Troopers said the SUV flipped several times before coming to a stop in a yard.

    Three juveniles, including a 3-year-old boy, were ejected from the SUV. The 3-year-old died at the scene, while the two juveniles were taken to local hospitals. The driver, a woman, was also taken to the hospital.

    Troopers believe the driver was the only person wearing a seatbelt in the car and that speed was a contributing factor.
