CHARLOTTE, NC (January 14, 2026). Significant legal developments have occurred in the case of the high-speed collision that devastated a local family last month. Jason Anthony Scott, 18, appeared in court this week following his release from the hospital, where he now faces multiple felony charges related to the tragic deaths of a mother and daughter.
During his court appearance on Tuesday, January 13, a judge set a $300,000 bond for Scott. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) has officially charged the teenager with:
Investigators allege that Scott was driving a 2013 BMW 335i at excessive speeds on December 27, 2025, when he struck a 2011 Honda CR-V near the intersection of Ardrey Kell Road and Red Rust Lane.
The crash claimed the lives of the driver of the Honda, Lorin Elizabeth Manley, and her rear passenger, Gloria Jeane Manley. Both were tragically pronounced dead at the scene by MEDIC.
A third passenger, a 12-year-old child, was transported with life-threatening injuries. Family members report that while the juvenile is now out of the ICU and expected to survive, they face a grueling recovery from a broken pelvis, broken ribs, and a collapsed lung.
