Dude said he was driving behind Cam and was first on the scene. Said their light turned green and out of nowhere this buick came from the left side, nailing the back end of the driver's side of Newton's truck sending his car skidding and flipping. If it turns out the other person run a stop sign, he may feel the full extent of the law considering what just happened.

The car's right side was damaged. Seems like it would be the left if he hit him in the back.

From what I saw from the on scene videos reporting from the intersection Newton was struck by the other vehicle which was approaching at any angle, sort a less skewed y intersection, from Newtons left side. From that angle the damage would be to the right side of the vehicle that struck Cam's truck.

Also the impact would be the right front of the automobile and most likely the left rear tire in Cam's truck as it's raised and has larger tires. Also would make it easier to flip. That also was the reason it probably stayed on the bridge instead of skidding out of control.

Did they really? Do you have a quote because I would like to read it.

Well nvm. Idk if chknwing quoted the wrong article or the website changed it. Nothing what he said was in the article.

charlotte observer is reporting Cam was at fault in the accident

The Buick’s unidentified driver, writhing in pain on the sidewalk, told police that he was crossing Church Street when a truck “came flying down” the street and struck him.

Construction workers who wouldn’t identify themselves told an Observer reporter that Newton’s truck had barreled down Church Street, just north of the crash site, at a high speed.

future lawsuit impending

Ok because the observer, or one of their editors, did tweet a BS headline like "Cam Newton has 16 driving citations".

But what the headline didn't say is 15 of those citations were from college. Only one since 2011.

That poo pissed me off.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
