Man accused of crashing into MEDIC vehicle in Charlotte has case moved to trial
CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Charlotte man accused of crashing into a parked medical vehicle and seriously injuring several people is having his case moved to trial after a potential plea deal was rejected in court this week, according to Mecklenburg County documents.
Nearly two years ago, on May 12, 2023, a 2016 Nissan Altima driven by then-19-year-old Brian Ogbonna crashed into a Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services Agency (MEDIC) truck as an emergency crew was treating a patient at North Tryon and West Mallard Creek Church Road.
Officials said one Medic employee suffered life-threatening injuries and another suffered serious injuries following the serious wreck.
Ogbonna and the patient who was being treated by the crew for a non-related incident were both taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Ogbonna was reportedly charged with failing to move over, causing serious injury, and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury. A few months later, on July 25, 2023, records show he posted a $50,000 bond.
According to court documents, Ogbonna has an arraignment scheduled on December 26, 2025.
