Derrick White, 55, of Leicester, North Carolina, died following a collision on Haywood Road on October 31.

According to investigators, White was riding a 2022 Harley Davidson westbound on Haywood Road when a maroon 2006 GMC Yukon driven by Cagle attempted to turn left onto the I-240 East ramp.

Cagle surrendered to authorities on November 20, was booked into the Buncombe County Detention Facility under a $5,000 secured bond, and released the same day after posting bail. His next court date is set for February 5.
White, a Kentucky native, was a devoted father and grandfather who worked in commercial construction. His obituary noted that he passed away doing something he loved.
