A two-vehicle crash occurred at the intersection of N.C. Hwy 705 and Upper Road in Seagrove on Tuesday at around 1:45 p.m., just before the Moore and Randolph County line.
Authorities said an SUV was traveling southeast on Highway 705 when a Lowe’s flatbed truck failed to yield at the Upper Road stop sign. The SUV struck the flatbed on the driver’s side of the bed.
The flatbed sustained minimal damage, but the SUV sustained extensive damage to its front. Air bags deployed, and the windshield was shattered.
Both occupants of the SUV were taken to Moore Regional. The extent of their injuries is unknown at this time.
Westmoore Fire Department, Moore County EMS, the Moore County Sheriff’s Office, and N.C. Highway Patrol responded to the incident.
