A head-on car wreck outside the town of Brevard in Henderson County, North Carolina (NC), led to the death of four people. Reports cited in story on therepublic.com indicate a Nissan Sentra headed west on NC Highway 280 suddenly veered into the path of a Dodge Neon headed in the opposite direction. The occupants of the Sentra and the driver of the Neon lost their lives.
Our deepest condolences go out to the innocent victims of this terrible car crash. The victims’ families are probably experiencing a mixture of emotions, ranging from gut-wrenching pain at the loss of their loved one to outrage over what appears to have been a preventable accident.
North Carolina state troopers are still investigating the fatal Highway 280 wreck, and the most pressing question is what exactly caused the Sentra driver to suddenly veer into the other lane. Was the driver distracted in some way? Was there a mechanical issue? The car crash occurred in the early morning, so the wreck may have been cuased by driver fatigue. We will have to wait and see what the accident report reveals, however, before determining the reason for the crash.
