Head On Collision in Kannapolis Takes Life; One Critical Condition
As the two motorists traveled down the two lane Cabarrus County road, the otherwise dark and gloomy day became one that two families won’t forget. According to a witness, one vehicle crossed into the other lane of traffic and hit a motorist head on as he traveled from the opposite direction. While it is still unknown what may have caused the driver to drive onto the wrong side of the road, many people are speculating that it may have been issues of carelessness that we are forced to deal with all too often.
The frightening aspect of being a driver is the likelihood of risks caused by other drivers. While we, as drivers, can certainly do things to reduce our risk of causing an accident, unfortunately, in most situations we are left to chance and the ability to respond quickly to situations by always paying close attention to surroundings.
Some people say the driver may have dropped something and as she was bent down to pick it up between her feet her car veered into incoming traffic. Regardless of speculation, one thing is clear. The slight lapse in judgment comes with consequences for several in Kannapolis and the surrounding Charlotte community. Just like you, we drive these roads every day. We take kids to daycare, drop by the grocery store, and run to the post office. Take it from a North Carolina personal injury attorney, these minor lapses in judgment are not worth the months of heartache and mental anguish that may follow–certainly not worth the devastation that these families are going through. Please continue to keep the family members in your thoughts as they fight what many people say is a never ending uphill battle.
From the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, please–be safe!
