Court upholds $3 million judgment against N.C. DOT in Palisades deadly crash
The N.C. Court of Appeals has upheld a $3 million judgment against the N.C. Department of Transportation over an uninstalled traffic signal on N.C. 49 in south Charlotte that contributed to a 2009 car crash that claimed three lives.
The crash occurred as two cars were drag racing southbound on N.C. 49 near the Palisades.
Cynthia Jean Furr was making a left turn from Riverpointe Drive onto N.C. 49 toward uptown and was blindsided by one of the racing cars, which was traveling at 86 mph.
Furr was killed in the crash, as was her 2-year-old daughter, Mackie. The wreck also killed 13-year-old Hunter Holt, who was a passenger in one of the racing cars.
