Billy Stewart - Car Crash

But popular music suffered its second major band wipe out when Stewart’s brand new Ford Thunderbird developed a wheel lock fault as he and his band travelled towards Smithfield, North Carolina, on Interstate 95. Hitting a bridge, the vehicle careered down a bank, coming to rest in the Neuse River, all four band members, Stewart, William Cathey, Rico Hightower and Norman P Rich, were killed.

Billy Stewart born March 24, 1937, died January 17, 1970
