Authorities Urge Road Safety Amid Holiday Crashes

Authorities are urging increased road safety during New Year's celebrations following several fatal crashes. In North Carolina, two men died in a head-on collision involving a service truck and a Dodge truck on U.S. Highway 15-501. Meanwhile, Raleigh police are investigating if the same driver caused two deadly crashes, including one involving an international student, Pierre-Louis de Mourgues, who was hit and killed on an e-scooter. A separate incident in Virginia saw James D. Benincasa from Greenwich die after his vehicle veered off I-95 and caught fire. In Chattanooga, a 61-year-old woman was killed when a Hyundai turned into the path of a Jeep on Highway 58. These incidents highlight the critical need for caution and responsible driving during the holiday season.
