Fatal Crashes in North Carolina
Crashes resulting in fatalities, such as the incident on I-277 N near South Blvd, have a lasting impact on both the victims’ loved ones and the wider community. In North Carolina, fatal collisions are often linked to factors like excessive speed, impaired driving, or failing to maintain control of the vehicle.
