Impaired driver charged after crash with former Greensboro officer
High Point Police charged Xavier T. Crosson, 35, of Climax, after a fatal crash at East Cone and North O. Henry in Greensboro. Former officer Haley L. Maeurer also faces charges in the May wreck.
High Point Police charged Xavier T. Crosson, 35, of Climax, with impaired driving after a fatal crash at East Cone Boulevard and North O. Henry Boulevard in Greensboro. WFMY News 2 also said Crosson was charged with driving while license revoked for impaired driving.
The wreck happened around 2:30 a.m. on May 3 and involved former Greensboro officer Haley L. Maeurer, 25, who was driving a marked Greensboro Police Department vehicle. Maeurer was responding to help another officer when the collision occurred, and FOX8 WGHP reported that a man died in the crash.
Maeurer later faced her own criminal charges. A City of Greensboro update said she was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle and speeding, and FOX8 reported she was cited for driving 76 mph in a 35 mph zone. Those charges turned the case from a traffic collision into a fatal crash investigation with criminal consequences for both drivers.
The details have made the case a local accountability issue in Guilford County, where deadly overnight crashes and impaired-driving arrests remain a stubborn public-safety concern. A charge of impaired driving means investigators believed they had evidence that alcohol or drugs may have affected Crosson’s driving, while the license-revoked charge points to an earlier impaired-driving related sanction.
The crash also carried added weight because it involved a former Greensboro police officer in a marked department vehicle on an emergency response. That combination of police involvement, a fatal outcome and later charges for the other driver put the intersection of East Cone Boulevard and North O. Henry Boulevard under a brighter public spotlight than an ordinary wreck would have drawn.
FOX8 reported that loved ones were mourning the loss of Xavier Crosson after the collision. For Guilford County drivers, the case shows how quickly a pre-dawn crash can escalate into a death investigation, a criminal case and a wider question about impaired driving on local roads.
