Lumberton Woman Dead After Head-On Collision, Driver Charged

A tragic accident on Thursday, April 1, left one woman dead and the driver of the other vehicle charged due to the accident.

Officials say the crash happened on N.C. 41,  about 8:43 AM, near Barnhill Road. A Chevrolet SUV that was moving north on N.C. 41 crossed the centerline and collided with a Ford passenger vehicle that was heading south.

Sadly, Sara Dowd, 33, died in the crash. The other driver, Daniel Robinson, 27, was charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. 

Accidents, where vehicles cross the centerline, can be deadly and may have several different causes. Sometimes they’re related to drug or alcohol use, while in others, a tired driver may have simply fallen asleep at the wheel. They may also happen due to reckless driving, or in rare cases, a driver swerving to avoid a sudden obstacle in the road. Motorists are advised to drive carefully, arrange a designated driver if they will be drinking, and pull over if they’re feeling sleepy. These steps can help avoid some of the common situations that cause vehicles to cross the centerline.
