According to the Sun Journal, the injury charges were filed because two other passengers in the at-fault driver's Jeep that were injured in the crash that occurred whil the man was speeding down a dirt road.

A breath test performed following the accidet revealed that the driver’s blood alcohol content was .13, well over the limit of .08. The district attorney handling this case was quoted by the newpaper as saying that he was working with authorities conducting the investigation to proceed with criminal prosecution to get justice for the deceased and the injured victims.

My Carolina personal injury attorney colleagues and I share the DA’s passion for justice, especially in accidents like this one where innocent lives were lost due to the reckless and wanton conduct of a driver. The victims and the family of the people who lost their lives in this accident should consult with a wrongful death attorney in North Carolina to discuss their legal options.
