A car driver who attempted to make a left hand turn onto Summer Darby Lane slammed with a van and caused a major wreck. The impact was so severe that the van flipped over on its side injuring the passengers inside, one of whom had to be rescued by authorities and medical personnel.
According to WCNC, the three victims were taken to the Carolinas Medical Center with severe, life threatening injuries. The driver of the car is now facing criminal charges.
It’s so frustrating to read about accidents where innocent lives are turned upside down to the careless behavior of a driver. Just think, three people are now confronting life-threatening injuries because a driver apparently couldn’t wait to make a turn.
The injured passengers in the van should speak with a personal injury attorney in North Carolina to determine their legal options. Since the injuries they suffered in were life threatening, they could have grounds to seek damages for medical expenses, time missed from work and other expenses that are associated with the accident.
