The incident happened just before 6:30 a.m. Monday, police said, when Woods and his family ran out of gas roughly 25 miles north of Durham. They were walking down a road when a Department of Corrections truck driven by Jeffrey McKay crashed into Woods's 17-year-old son.
The teen boy died from the impact of the crash, police said.

McKay was rushed to a nearby hospital by police but died before he arrived, police said.
Woods and other family members who were on the scene then took McKay's truck and drove to their home, police said.
"This is kind of a first," Sgt. Kevin Morris told ABC11. "I've been to people struck by cars and I've been to shootings, but I haven't ever had this happen at the same time. Sad situation all around, for all the families."
