Crash on Highway 49 Causes Serious Injuries to Pedestrian

Developments are still being made in a serious accident that occurred early in the morning in Cabarrus County. A pedestrian was walking along Zion Church Road at Highway 49 when struck by a vehicle. No names have been released at this time, and it is not known if the pedestrian survived the crash.

However, in a poll conducted by Elon University, two-thirds of walkers feel unsafe in North Carolina. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in the last reporting year;

  • 6,205 pedestrians were killed on the road
  • 76,000 pedestrians were injured

Why Do You Need Representation in Charlotte, North Carolina?

The person at fault in a pedestrian crash is not as simple as you think. Insurance companies will argue that a pedestrian was jay-walking, distracted, and looking at their phone.
