A two-vehicle collision Thursday evening in Aberdeen sent several people to the hospital, including multiple children, and shut down a portion of U.S. 15-501 for an extended period.
The crash occurred around 5:30 p.m. in front of the plaza that houses Honey Baked Ham, Ross, and Best Buy, among others, and involved a black SUV and a red Ford Edge.
Authorities on scene told Sandhills Sentinel that the black SUV was turning left out of the parking lot and into the center turn lane to head north when it collided with the red SUV, which was also in the turn lane and attempting to turn into the Harris Teeter parking lot.
The impact left the Ford Edge overturned on its side in the roadway with heavy damage. The black SUV sustained front-end damage.
Air care was initially placed on standby, but was later canceled after Moore County EMS evaluated those involved.
Several occupants of both vehicles were transported to the hospital, including children who were riding in the black SUV. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
U.S. 15-501 remained closed for an extended period as emergency crews responded and worked at the scene, which created significant traffic delays in the area and on surrounding roads.
The Aberdeen Police Department, Aberdeen Fire Department, and Moore County EMS responded to the crash.
