SNOW HILL, N.C. (AP) â€" Authorities say a Greene County sheriff's deputy has been killed in a traffic accident, barely two months after he took the job.
The state Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Deputy David Jennings Dawson III was killed Monday night on N.C. 903 about three miles south of Snow Hill.
The patrol said Dawson was responding to a call to assist another deputy when he lost control of his cruiser, which veered off the road and struck a tree.
Officials in Greene County say Dawson had been with the sheriff's office since June after graduating from basic law enforcement training at Lenoir Community College last spring.
In July 2010, Greene County deputy Jon-Michael Willis was shot to death in the line of duty.
