Fatal Ardrey Kell Road Crash: Justice for Victims Lorin and Gloria Manley
CHARLOTTE, NC — The South Charlotte community continues to mourn the loss of a mother and daughter following a devastating high-speed collision on Ardrey Kell Road. As criminal proceedings move forward against the 18-year-old driver, Jason Anthony Scott, the surviving family members face an uphill battle for recovery and justice.
Collision Details and Criminal Charges
On December 27, 2025, a 2013 BMW 335i driven by Jason Scott struck a 2011 Honda CR-V near the intersection of Ardrey Kell Road and Red Rust Lane. The impact resulted in the tragic deaths of the Honda’s driver, Lorin Elizabeth Manley, and her mother, Gloria Jeane Manley. A 12-year-old child in the vehicle also suffered life-threatening injuries, including a broken pelvis and collapsed lung.
Jason Scott, who was reportedly traveling at excessive speeds, has been released from the hospital and is now facing several felony charges, including:
Two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter
Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon Inflicting Serious Injury
A judge recently set Scott’s bond at $300,000 as the investigation continues.
Seeking Civil Justice After a Catastrophic Accident
While the criminal justice system handles the charges against the driver, the civil legal system allows survivors to seek compensation for their immense losses. For families dealing with the aftermath of a fatal wreck, a wrongful death claim can help cover:
Funeral and burial expenses
Outstanding medical bills for injured survivors
Pain and suffering and the loss of emotional support
