CLEMMONS -- A man died yesterday when his car ran off the right side of Frye Bridge Road and hit a tree, the N.C. Highway Patrol said.
Milbourne Legrand Joye III, 25, of 5321 Sterling Forest Drive was alone and driving east on Frye Bridge Road when the wreck occurred about 4:09 a.m., said Trooper Eric Naylor.
The wreck happened just before the turn that led to the house where Joye lived with his parents, Naylor said.
Joye's car ran off the road and hit the corner of a driveway, then crossed over several yards before hitting a cable television box, Naylor said. Joye's car was turning over when it then hit a tree and broke in two, he said. Joye died at the scene.
Naylor said that the highway patrol is waiting for the results of an autopsy and is still investigating the crash.

Milbourne (known as Tripp to his family and friends) was truly a great guy. My family and I were shocked and heartbroken to hear of this tragedy. Our hearts, love, thoughts, and prayers go out to his family, friends, and his special love Jackie. May God give all of you the strength, comfort and peace that you need to carry on each and every day. May your cherished memories of Trip bring you comfort and smiles. He will be missed by many.
With deepest, deepest sympathy,

We lived down the street from Tripp for many years. He was always talented and enthusiastic. It was a joy watching him grow and enjoy his music. He brought a great deal of fun to our little neighborhood.
Our special prayers go out to his mother and father. We want to extend our deepest sympathy to them.
