HIGH POINT, N.C. -- Members of the First Wesleyan Church in Kernersville are mourning the loss of a fellow member who was killed in a crash in Florida Sunday.
Darrell Scruggs, 68, of High Point died after police said his SUV overturned when a van slammed into it. He was not wearing a seat belt.
He was a former pastor in Asheboro and Mount Airy. Scruggs was a pastor in the Wesleyan Church for 34 years and ministered at Neighbors Grove Wesleyan Church in Asheboro from 1988 to 1994.
