Intersection Injuries in North Carolina Suburbs
Suburban intersections, such as Lawyers Rd and Olivet Dr in the Hickory Grove area, are frequent sites for injury-related crashes due to their blend of residential access points and through traffic. Drivers turning into neighborhoods or exiting side streets often misjudge speed or distance, especially during mid-day hours.

In the greater Charlotte area alone, over 4,000 intersection crashes with injuries were reported in 2024, many of them in suburban districts like Hickory Grove.
