Driver airlifted after crashing into woods in Carthage

A young woman was airlifted Monday morning from Pik n Pig in Carthage after wrecking into the nearby wood line.

Emergency personnel responded to a crash on Highway 24-27 near Myrick Road shortly after 7 a.m.

The patient was reportedly driving her Santa Fe East on Highway 24-27 when her vehicle went off the right side of the road, taking down a section of trees and brush before stopping in the woods.

The vehicle was deeply embedded in the woods along the roadway, almost unnoticeable if you didn’t see the entry point.
