Head-on crash kills 3, injures 3 in North Carolina

When approaching a sharp curve on a two-lane road, taking care to reduce speed may be essential to maintaining proper lane control. Should a driver fail to take such measures and veer even slightly into the opposite lane, oncoming drivers might not be able to respond to the situation in time to avoid a dangerous collision. Three individuals were killed and three others were injured during a recent car accident involving similar circumstances in North Carolina.

Recent head-on collision

Reports indicate that authorities responded to a head-on crash at around 11 a.m. on a recent Monday. According to authorities, the incident occurred when the driver of a southbound van drifted into the opposite lane of traffic while navigating a curve on a two-lane road. The van reportedly proceeded to crash head-on with a northbound vehicle.

Reports indicate that there were five people in the second vehicle at the time of the crash, two of whom were pronounced dead at the scene. The other three occupants were all transported to medical facilities for treatment of unspecified injuries. Authorities have advised that the driver of the van also died at the scene and no further information was provided as to what might have caused this person to veer into the wrong lane of traffic.
