Fatal Accidents in North Carolina 
Fatal North Carolina traffic accidents take place every day in North Carolina. On average, there are approximately three fatal crashes reported each day across our state. While many serious traffic collisions involve cars, a substantial number of North Carolina traffic accidents also occur on motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. When these accidents take place, the results can be catastrophic as these vehicles offer little protection from the force of a collision.
