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.

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.
