Fatal NC Car Accident Under Investigation

A recent fatal car accident on the U.S. 70 is still under investigation after a driver of another vehicle involved is pronounced dead. As of now, North Carolina State Highway Patrol believes that speed and alcohol did not play a role in the accident, but they are looking further into the accident. The auto accident occurred between the Clarks and Tuscarora exits when the 35-year-old man behind the wheel of a 2008 GMC Arcadia attempted to make a lane change on the four-lane highway. His vehicle struck the back of another, driven by a 63-year-old woman. The collision forced the woman's vehicle off the side of the road and into a tree. She was pronounced dead upon the arrival of emergency crews, but her 5-year-old grandson, a passenger in the vehicle, was unharmed.
