Sad news we learned today that Wildlife Officer Eddie Vaughn died Monday evening after losing control of his motorcycle in Vance County he crossed the center line hitting an on coming car. Officer Vaughn patrolled Vance County and was well known and liked by the outdoorsmen from that area. He was 38 years old. Although I did not know him personally I had the honor of meeting him on a couple of occasions.
Eddie Vaughan, game warden with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in Vance County, died Monday night in a motorcycle accident, according to reports from the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Trooper B.C. Edwards confirmed the details of the accident around 12:45 a.m. today.
Vaughan, 38, was operating a 2004 Harley-Davidson on Allison Cooper Road about one mile south of U.S. 1 when the accident occurred at 8:10 p.m.
He was traveling south when the motorcycle crossed the center line and collided head-on with a car driven by Mollie Bullock.
Vaughan was pronounced dead at the scene.
On NC Hunt & Fish was where I first heard about this tragedy and there has been many condolences offered by the outdoor community here in North Carolina. Some of the members of the board have hunted with Eddie and there is one that was related to him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends who struggle with this loss.
