The N.C. Highway Patrol says three people are dead after a multi-car accident south of Whiteville. Troopers say a driver couldn't complete a pass in a no-passing zone on U.S. 701 Friday night and tried to get back into the lane. That car hit the fender of the vehicle in front of it, causing 78-year-old Furley James Brown to lose control of his car and crash into a third car head-on.
