A two-vehicle accident on Highway 690 outside Vass has claimed the life of a man. The crash happened on Sunday in the area of Charging Charlie Way just inside of Fort Bragg Military Reservation.
Emergency units were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. and arrived on scene to find a Toyota Tundra pickup truck on its roof and a Volkswagen passenger car with heavy front-end damage. Both vehicles were just off the roadway on the westbound shoulder.

The drivers were the only occupants of the vehicles.
