Fatal collisions are reported every day in North Carolina. Annually, more than a thousand people die as a result of collisions on our roadways. There are many cases where people lose their lives in fatal accidents due to the careless and negligent actions of others. One common cause is distracted driving, such as eating food or texting on a cell phone while behind the wheel. Another significant factor is speeding, which reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents.
