Burlington, NC (September 13, 2020) – Two people suffered critical injuries in a car accident that took place in Burlington on Saturday, September 12th. The crash happened just before 1:00 a.m. in the 100 block of Sellars Mill Road.
According to reports, officers with the Burlington Police Department, along with the Burlington Fire Department, and Alamance County EMS responded to a call regarding a single-vehicle crash. When crews arrived at the scene, they located a 2011 Dodge Challenger that was off the roadway. The Challenger was overturned onto its roof. Investigators believe that the vehicle veered out of its lane, left the roadway, and struck a tree before overturning. The driver was ejected from the car after the collision.
Both the driver and a passenger were taken to a nearby hospital and were listed in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. Neither occupant has been identified at this time.

North Carolina Car Accidents 
Car accidents in North Carolina take place every day, multiple times per day. The victims of these crashes include the negligent driver but can also include innocent motorists, including over drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. While no one ever expects to be hurt in a crash, statistics tell us that about 80,000 people are hurt every year in traffic accidents in our state. This number has continued to climb over the past several years as the population has grown and there are more people on the streets and highways.
If you have been hurt in a North Carolina car accident, there may be legal options available for you. For instance, if you were not at fault in the crash, the other driver or their insurance company should assume responsibility for the claim. This means that you can request payment for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and potentially more. Depending on the severity of your injuries, this amount can be significant. It is important, therefore, to understand the value of your case before you begin the process of settlement negotiations with the insurance company.
