Fayetteville I-295 Ramp Accident Injures Mikayla Langhirt: Police

FAYETTEVILLE, NC (April 24, 2026) – A high-speed vehicle crash late Friday night in Fayetteville left one person dead and another injured.

According to the Fayetteville Police Department, a 2013 Dodge Charger traveling at a high rate of speed on Raeford Road crashed near the Interstate 295 South entrance ramp at approximately 11:45 p.m.

Authorities said 26-year-old passenger Mikayla Love Langhirt was injured in the crash and transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for treatment.

The 36-year-old driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police continue to investigate the incident and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 910-818-1872.

Incident Location


CRASH INVESTIGATION

Speeding is a dangerous form of reckless driving that puts all road users at risk.

Driving at excessive speeds reduces reaction time in critical situations, increases stopping distance, and diminishes the effectiveness of road safety features. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), speeding contributed to 29% of all traffic deaths in 2022, resulting in 12,151 fatalities.

Regardless of any official findings, Candice Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation to preserve evidence and safeguard a victim’s rights.

“It is crucial to determine the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will also examine all contributing factors,” Bond added. “A lawyer can secure expert testimony, identify witnesses, and review insurance policies. Acting as an advocate, an attorney helps guide an injured victim through what can be a complex process.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Mikayla Langhirt may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending the results of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, explained, “Injured victims involved in crashes often file personal injury claims to recover costs related to medical expenses, future care, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often indifferent to the growing financial burden faced by injured victims. An attorney can assist by protecting victims’ rights and ensuring that insurance companies are held accountable for their obligations,” he added.
