Two men were sent to the hospital after a three-vehicle wreck in Southern Pines on Thursday, according to officials. The crash occurred around 11:45 a.m. on Midland Road and S. Knoll Road.
A town of Southern Pines pickup truck was involved, along with a car and an SUV. The driver of the car and the Southern Pines employee were taken to Moore Regional Hospital with minor injuries.
The town truck suffered side damage, the car had severe front-end damage, and the SUV also sustained severe front-end damage.
It’s unclear how the accident occurred and in which directions the vehicles were traveling. State Highway Patrol is investigating it.
Southern Pines Fire and Rescue and Moore County Sheriff’s Office closed both eastbound lanes of Midland Road for some time. The collision caused significant delays and a long line of traffic on S. Knoll Road.
According to radio traffic, another ambulance was requested to the scene about 45 minutes after the wreck. It’s unclear if that ambulance was called for the third driver or out of precaution.
