According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, two pedestrians were hit and killed when a truck involved in a crash in east Charlotte overturned onto the sidewalk.
Authorities said the preliminary investigation revealed that a Honda Civic driver was traveling at a “high rate of speed” east on Harris Boulevard when it struck the rear of a Dodge Ram pickup.

Two Pedestrians Killed When Truck Overturns Onto Sidewalk in Charlotte, North Carolina
In addition to traveling at a high rate of speed, the CMPD suspect the Honda driver to have been impaired at the time of the collision. Neither speed nor alcohol was a factor in the crash for the driver of the Dodge.
Investigators said after the Dodge was hit by the Honda driver, the truck hit the curb and began to overturn along the sidewalk where two pedestrians were walking. Both were struck.

One pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other a short time later at the hospital.
Neither the Honda nor Dodge driver were injured, and both remained on the scene.
The Honda driver was charged with two counts of felony death by motor vehicle, DWI, and reckless driving. He was also charged for having an open container of alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle and various other traffic offenses.

I was hurt in an accident and no other lawyer was willing to help me, but Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt showed up and showed out. Not only did this law firm keep me up to date with what was going on with my case, but when I felt down or needed to vent, they listened to me (especially attorney Brian Hunt’s paralegal, Nataly).
I was hurt when I was t-boned in a car crash. I was pleased with Brian Hunt’s professionalism; he handles his clients well and lets them know what’s going on. Maris (Case Manager) is great too! She stayed on top of things and is very personable! Nothing but a positive experience for me. Not a large firm but attacked the large issues. Very pleased and will return, if need be.
I was in a car crash and I was referred to Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt by my chiropractor (Prosperity). I really liked how I was updated a lot; Maris really kept me updated. I would definitely come back. I kept Brian’s card—I don’t keep a lot of business cards but I kept his.
I was rear-ended in a car crash and needed an attorney. I was referred to Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt by my chiropractor (Queen City). The service went well and quickly; I got better than I hoped! Everything went great!
Tuve un accidente y la persona que choco mi carro se fue (hit and run). Estuve satisfecho por lo excelente servicio, siempre contestaron todas nuestras preguntas y recibi mas dinero de lo que esperaba.
I was hit by a drunk driver and he was uninsured. Not only was he uninsured, but he was sent home without notice of his alcohol content. Brian Hunt not only sought out to help me, but he offered his services to my passenger as well. He was immediately concerned about the situation. He and his staff were readily available to answer any questions I had and worked diligently to handle my case. Great team, office, and personalities!!
I was rear-ended while at a complete stop. I suffered a concussion, neck injury & bleeding on the spine. My vehicle was totaled & covered but I had no medical insurance to cover my medical expenses. My biggest concern was my expenses and Mr. Hunt got all of my expenses paid! Also pleased that I was compensated otherwise! I’m always going to have trouble with discs in my neck but thankful my immediate expenses were covered.
We were rear-ended by a speeding vehicle. I am very pleased with the services that the whole staff here provided for us. They kept us informed and made sure my whole family was good after the accident. Very honest with us! Keep doing what you are doing!
I was referred to Martha Ramsay by another attorney. I appreciated how they kept me informed about all updates and my case manager, Kathy, was a great help all the way through. Martha Ramsay did a great job!
