A driver often makes multiple turns and lane changes in a single trip. Most in North Carolina go to great lengths to ensure that their actions are not the cause of an accident while making these maneuvers. Unfortunately, even the most careful drivers are sometimes unable to avoid the reckless actions of others. In fact, two people were recently arrested in North Carolina in connection with a car accident that resulted in two fatalities.

The incident happened in April 2019. According to reports, a car with two occupants was turning into a gas station parking lot. Unfortunately, the vehicle was reportedly struck by a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old male. Both occupants in the first vehicle died as a result of injuries suffered in the collision. The teenager was injured.

Though it may be easy to take certain traffic signs for granted, all signs are placed with the intention of protecting drivers and other users of roadways. Failure to obey them could have tragic consequences as a recent car accident in North Carolina appears to demonstrate. A driver now faces multiple criminal charges as a result.

The crash happened during the afternoon hours of a day in mid-May. According to reports, the driver of a pickup truck failed to obey a stop sign. As a result, the truck is said to have struck a Head Start bus; the impact reportedly caused the bus to overturn. A vehicle behind the bus also became involved in the collision.

When a crime occurs, there is an understandable desire for answers. Unfortunately, these answers may take a significant amount of time to uncover. Despite this, a man in North Carolina was recently arrested in connection to an alleged murder just hours after the deceased victim's body was discovered.

The incident that led to the man's arrest reportedly happened just after 5 a.m. on a day in early May. Police reportedly responded to the home of a 78-year-old woman after receiving reports of an alarm at the residence. Responding officers allegedly discovered the woman's body inside her home, and police believed that she was stabbed during a robbery.

Research shows that between 40% and 50% of marital unions end in divorce throughout the United States, including North Carolina. Unfortunately, where a person lives might contribute to his or her likelihood of going through the family law proceeding of divorce. Researchers recently determined that states with fewer instances of divorce have some things in common.

First, divorce is less likely for those who live in an area that does not breed high amounts of stress. The reason for this is that when couples are stressed about family drama, finances or work, this can end up harming their relationships. In the same manner, states where people had less debt related to student loans are more likely to have lower rates of divorce.
