A central North Carolina man is facing multiple charges after he drove into oncoming traffic and caused an intentional head-on crash in an attempt to kill his spouse, according to court documents.

At least three people were injured in the crash, including his wife, reported television stations WRAL-TV and WNCN. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear on June 4, but USA TODAY had reached out to officials for more information.

The man, 33-year-old Andersen Singleton, is facing at least six charges for an incident that happened on May 31, according to court documents filed in Wake County District Court and obtained by USA TODAY..

His charges include one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict serious injury, one count of reckless driving to endanger, one count of injury to personal property, and one count of driving left of a center lane, per online court records.

Singleton has also been charged with assaulting, stalking, or threatening his spouse, per court records obtained by USA TODAY. Singleton is being held with no bond and has been ordered to stay 300 feet away from his spouse’s home, school, or job as well.

Singleton waived his right to court-appointed counsel on June 2, the North Carolina Judicial Branch confirmed to USA TODAY on June 4. He can hire his own attorney, but no one has made an appearance on his behalf as of June 4, the branch said

What happened that day?

The crash happened just before 6 a.m. on May 31, reported WNCN.

Officials allege that on May 31, Singleton was driving a Honda CR-V when he crossed over a line separating two lanes, then hit a Toyota Camry head-on. Singleton's wife was in the Honda CR-V with him, while two men were inside the Toyota Camry he hit, reported WNCN.

Singleton's wife, who asked not to be named, told USA TODAY on June 5 that her husband unbuckled her seatbelt before swerving into the oncoming Toyota Camry.

In redacted court documents, authorities said Singleton assaulted his wife "with a motor vehicle by intentionally crashing into oncoming traffic, a deadly weapon, with the intent to kill him."

Authorities also said Singleton’s actions led to damage totaling more than $200.

‘We’re definitely going to the psych ward’: Witnesses reportedly detail what happened

Jorge Bravo saw Singleton crash the vehicle and captured the footage on his dashboard camera, reported WRAL-TV. The footage shows the Honda CR-V crash head-on into an oncoming vehicle, which had two people inside.

Bravo said after the impact, he went over to help and spoke to Singleton.

"He was telling me how he was trying to kill himself and his wife because they were constantly fighting,” Bravo told WRAL-TV.

He also said something else to Bravo, the witness told another outlet, WNCN.

"We're definitely going to the psych ward," Bravo said, quoting Singleton. “I thought that was a very interesting thing for him to just kind of blurt out. He’s just … confessing all of this.”

GoFundMe launched to help wife, child

Singleton and his wife share a 1-year-old son. Community members have started a fundraiser to help Singleton's wife with medical expenses, therapy, legal support, and child care.

Krystina Richter, the organizer, said in the fundraiser description that Singleton's wife is "a courageous mother (who) survived a horrific and intentional car crash — a brutal act of domestic violence that has since made national news."

She added that Singleton's actions have left his wife physically injured and she now needs to rebuild her life.

"She is now raising her one-and-a-half-year-old son on her own, with a long journey of healing ahead — physically, emotionally, and financially," Richter wrote. "No survivor should have to walk this road alone. Your contribution is more than just financial help — it’s a message of hope, strength, and solidarity."

This story has been updated to accurately reflect the vehicle the suspect was driving at the time of the crash, and to add new information.
