More people are dying on Charlotte roads, report shows. Is anything being done? (Charlotte Observer)
Traffic deaths and serious injuries increased in Charlotte last year despite an initiative aimed at eliminating them. A report released by the Charlotte Department of Transportation last week showed total crashes are trending downward while the number of life-altering collisions continues to climb. Eighty-one people died on Charlotte streets during the 2025 fiscal year, and 111 suffered serious injuries.
