Fatal Crash in Cary, NC Prompts Charges Against At-Fault Driver

On February 12, 2012, two young adults were killed on Southwest Cary Parkway in Cary, North Carolina (NC), when their vehicle was hit by a speeding car being driven by a 22-year-old woman. Investigations revealed that if the at-fault driver wasn’t going 22 mph over the posted speed limit of 45 mph, it is very likely that the accident never would have occurred.

The at-fault driver is being charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor speeding, which carries a maximum penalty of 45 days in jail in North Carolina.

Disregarding the speed limit can result in dire consequences, as illustrated by this tragic accident.
