Two people were hurt early Monday morning when their car struck a tree and burst into flames near 904 Dare Road in Yorktown.
Police have not yet determined the cause of the accident. However, many traffic accidents in the early-morning hours can be blamed, in part, on drowsy driving. About 100,000 reportable accidents annually are caused by driver fatigue. These crashes cause 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses, according to the National Sleep Foundation’s drowsydriving.org Web site.
