Authorities on scene told Sandhills Sentinel the crash occurred when a convertible sports car failed to yield while turning left from the senior center onto the highway and pulled into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Trax.
The Chevrolet then deviated from the roadway, where it came to rest in an embankment along the road.
The driver of the convertible was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Trax was not injured.
Both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage, and the Trax’s airbags deployed. Debris littered the roadway
Traffic along that section of U.S. 15-501 was temporarily delayed while crews worked to remove the vehicles.
