A tragic car crash in Fayetteville has left three people dead and another critically injured, following a violent collision on Friday afternoon. Police confirmed Saturday night that a third victim, who had been hospitalized, died from injuries sustained in the crash. The devastating incident has left the local community mourning the sudden loss of three lives.
According to the Fayetteville Police Department, the crash occurred around 4:25 p.m. on Cedar Creek Road, near the intersection with LA Dunham Road—about a mile west of Interstate 95. Investigators say a Dodge Charger was traveling northbound when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The car crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a Honda traveling southbound.
The driver of the Dodge Charger was identified as 42-year-old Jermaine Stubbs of Fayetteville. He and his front-seat passenger, 41-year-old Hope Bryant, also from Fayetteville, were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Honda, 51-year-old Marcia Adair-Davis, was rushed to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center but later died from her injuries. A third person in the Charger suffered critical injuries and remains hospitalized.
Authorities believe that speed played a major role in causing the crash. Although the exact speed has not been confirmed, preliminary evidence suggests the Dodge Charger was moving too fast for the road conditions. The investigation is ongoing, and officials are working to determine whether other factors, such as mechanical failure or distracted driving, also contributed to the deadly collision.
This incident has shaken the Fayetteville community, as all three victims were local residents. Family members, friends, and neighbors are grieving and sharing memories of their loved ones. The sudden and violent nature of the crash has led to renewed calls for greater caution on the roads, especially in areas prone to speeding and accidents.
The Fayetteville Police Department is asking anyone who witnessed the crash or who has information that may assist in the investigation to contact Detective J. Deal at (910) 584-3692. As police continue to collect evidence and reconstruct the events, more details may emerge in the coming days. Meanwhile, authorities are urging drivers to slow down and stay alert to prevent future tragedies like the one on Cedar Creek Road.
