Consequence is reporting that Joshua Nassaru Ward, the drummer for North Carolina death metal band Voraath, was killed along with three others by a drunk driver on New Year’s Eve.
The tragic incident took place in Greenville, South Carolina, just after 9 PM on Tuesday night (December 31st). The 37-year-old Ward, his fiancee Zelena, and two others were pulling out a driveway in a Subaru SUV when they were struck by a 2012 BMW driven by 31-year-old Nicholas Shane Meeks.
The crash sent the Subaru off the road and into a tree, killing all four occupants of Ward’s vehicle. Meeks was detained and charged on four counts of felony DUI. He is being held without bond.
