Head-on collisions, like the one on Turnbull Rd, are among the most dangerous types of accidents in North Carolina. These types of crashes can lead to severe injuries due to the high-impact nature of the crash, especially when speed is involved. In this case, a variety of injuries, including those sustained by a young child, highlight the vulnerability of passengers in these types of accidents.
All drivers need to remain vigilant, follow traffic laws, and avoid distractions, especially on roads where high speeds are common. While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, factors such as speeding, impaired driving, or failure to yield could have played a role.
