Woman taken to Cape Fear Valley Hospital with serious injuries
A woman has been hospitalized with serious injuries after her vehicle hydroplaned off Interstate 95 in Cumberland County on Sunday afternoon.
According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP), the incident occurred when a Chevy Tahoe was traveling southbound on I-95 amidst heavy rainfall. The vehicle lost control due to hydroplaning and collided with a construction site jersey barrier. Subsequently, it veered across both southbound lanes before descending an embankment and ultimately rolling over, striking a set of trees.
Emergency services swiftly arrived at the scene and transported the female driver to Cape Fear Valley Hospital for treatment of her severe injuries.
The NCSHP troopers present at the accident site emphasized that adverse weather conditions played a significant role in causing this unfortunate incident. As rain poured down relentlessly, creating hazardous road conditions, drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution while navigating wet roads.
Authorities have not released any further information regarding the victim's identity or current condition. It is crucial for motorists to remain vigilant during inclement weather and adjust their driving accordingly by reducing speed and maintaining safe distances from other vehicles.
As investigations into this incident continue, local law enforcement agencies will work diligently to determine if any additional factors contributed to this accident beyond adverse weather conditions alone.
