A motorcyclist was airlifted to a trauma center Thursday afternoon after colliding with a delivery van on N.C. 211 outside Aberdeen.
The crash happened just before 12:45 p.m. near Premier Technology when a white delivery van attempted a left turn. The van’s driver told Sandhills Sentinel she was in a line of “about six cars” traveling toward Aberdeen in a no-passing zone. She recounted that a motorcyclist on a Suzuki allegedly attempted to pass the line of vehicles and struck the side of her van as she turned.
Air care was requested after an initial evaluation of the motorcyclist, a landing zone was established in a nearby field, and he was flown to a trauma center. The extent of his injuries was not immediately available, but officials said that his condition was stable.
The driver of the van was uninjured and did not require transport.
Aberdeen Police, Moore County EMS, and Aberdeen Fire and Rescue responded to the crash.
