Auto Crash Data For Fayetteville Tells a Scary Story
Cumberland and Surrounding Counties are Dangerous for Drivers
Southeastern North Carolina is not a safe place to drive. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Cumberland and the surrounding counties of Robeson, Scotland, Hoke, Sampson, Harnett and Lee have some of the highest crash rankings in the state. Simply put, if you operate a motor vehicle in Fayetteville, you have a much higher chance of getting in wreck.
The chart below lists the crash data and rankings for the past four years. To formulate these rankings, the N.C. DOT uses “several factors including reported crashes, crash severity, crash rates based on population, registered vehicles and estimated vehicle miles traveled.”
This data impacts your car insurance rates each year. While you’re paying a higher premium than others in safer counties, many drivers around you still do not carry liability insurance required by law. If you’re hit by an uninsured driver, you may be forced to pursue your own coverage.
