Woman dies in Greensboro crash, driver faces death by vehicle charge
A rear-end crash at Freeman Mill and Coliseum killed Brittany Jordan and injured her passenger, while police charged Bryson Spruill and said more charges were possible.
A rear-end crash at Freeman Mill Road and Coliseum Boulevard turned a Friday afternoon commute into a fatal scene, killing Brittany Jordan, 30, and leaving her passenger seriously injured. Greensboro police charged Bryson Spruill, 25, with misdemeanor death by vehicle and failure to reduce speed, and officers said additional charges were still possible as the investigation continued.
Investigators said Spruill was driving north on Freeman Mill Road when Jordan was stopped at the traffic signal at the intersection. Police said Spruill struck the rear of Jordan’s vehicle, pushed it forward and caused two more collisions involving vehicles stopped ahead. Guilford County EMS first said five people were hurt, including two people in critical condition and three with minor injuries, before the scene was more fully sorted out.
The crash also fit a wider pattern on Freeman Mill Road, one of Greensboro’s busier south-side corridors. In April 2024, police reported a fatal wreck on Freeman Mill near Garrett Street, and in December 2025 another crash shut down the Freeman Mill Road exit to I-40. The same Freeman Mill and Coliseum corner has also been closed after a separate crash that left a utility pole down in the roadway.
Court documents cited in the reporting said Spruill had recent traffic-related infractions, including speeding and an expired registration card or tag, adding context to the criminal charges and to the safety concerns raised by the case. For residents trying to understand whether a crash site is part of a broader problem, Greensboro Police Department provides crash-report requests through the city, including by phone at 336-373-2435, and keeps official releases in its public newsroom. NCDOT also maintains crash-data and safety maps organized by intersection for high-level analysis, and the Greensboro Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization adopted a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan on April 29, 2026 to guide future safety investments.
