Three Dead in Pitt County Crash, Overturned Vehicle Investigated

Two separate early morning car crashes in North Carolina resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries. In Pitt County, a single-vehicle accident on NC 43 near Keel Road left three people dead after their car lost control in a curve, overturned, and ejected all occupants; authorities suspect speed and impairment were contributing factors. In Greene County, three people were injured when a vehicle collided with a tree on NC-58 South; the driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel and has been charged with careless and reckless driving. Both incidents highlight the dangers of driving at night on rural roads, particularly when impairment or drowsiness is involved. Emergency crews responded quickly to both scenes, but the severity of the crashes underscores the importance of safe driving practices. These crashes serve as somber reminders of the risks posed by impaired and fatigued driving.
