Fayetteville, North Carolina (June 24, 2026) – According to the Fayetteville Police Department, new details have been released in connection with a single-vehicle crash earlier this month that claimed the lives of three high school students.
According to investigators, the crash occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m. on Rosehill Road when a Honda Civic carrying four occupants left the roadway and struck a utility pole before colliding with a tree.
Authorities said three passengers were pronounced dead as a result of the crash. The driver suffered critical injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Following an investigation, Fayetteville police announced that the driver has been charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter. Authorities also charged the driver and another individual with willful speed competition, speeding, careless and reckless driving, and insurance-related violations.
Investigators said evidence obtained during the investigation, including surveillance video, allegedly showed the vehicle traveling at approximately 92 mph on Rosehill Road before the collision. Court documents also indicate investigators are examining whether street racing contributed to the fatal crash.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional information may be released as the case proceeds through the legal process.
