A woman was transported to Moore Regional Hospital after a van rear-ended her vehicle Thursday afternoon.

Emergency crews were paged to the scene at U.S. 1 north, near Belk Lumber in Southern Pines.

“The car’s tread came off the tire, but the tire didn’t go flat, and the car stopped in the passing lane when the van ran into the back of the car,” said retired Firefighter Frank Staples.
