New video shows moment a speeding van slams into a north Charlotte home

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – New video of a north Charlotte crash is giving us a clearer view of a van slamming into a house. We brought this to you as breaking news on Friday. The crash happened in the Nevin Glen neighborhood. That’s on Graypark Drive. Video shows the van speeding through the neighborhood, narrowly missing a child. The van then crashes into a home with so much force, the van continues traveling into the garage of a second home.

First responders had to rescue someone from a second story window. One of the homeowners tells WCCB they have been rallying for speeds bumps in the neighborhood. Neighbor Sheila White says, “Hopefully, our HOA will see that we need speed bumps in the neighborhood, to kind of control the traffic around here. We’ve been asking for speed bumps, and we got, you know, kind of like blown away, blown off about it.”

Both houses have been deemed unlivable. The Red Cross is assisting people who live in both homes.
