Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who was in a car crash at South Church and West Hill streets near Interstate 277 in December, said Wednesday the intersection is still unsafe. He called on the city to do more to prevent future wrecks.
The Charlotte Department of Transportation said that it made a number of improvements to the intersection after the wreck, and that there are now fewer accidents than before the Newton rollover crash.
The city said between 2010 and 2014 there were an average of 5.4 angle crashes a year at the intersection, including nine last year.
