November 8, 2026

Another crash at the crossover in front of Bojangles in Carthage caused one driver to be airlifted due to extensive injuries Sunday evening.

The two-vehicle crash happened around 6:45 p.m. on U.S. 15-501 at the Monroe Street crossover.

According to officials on scene, the male driver of a Chevrolet Trax ran the stop sign on Monroe Street and pulled into the path of a Nissan Rogue traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 15-501.

The Nissan collided with the driver’s side of the Chevrolet, bringing both vehicles to a stop and blocking the roadway.

Both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage.

Due to his injuries, the male driver of the Chevrolet was airlifted to a trauma center from a landing zone set up at Veteran’s Memorial Park.

The driver of the Nissan was transported to Moore Regional Hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

Just after the initial crash at the crossover, a second crash occurred at U.S. Highway 15-501 and Carriage Oaks Drive when a vehicle attempted to make a U-turn and collided with another vehicle.

Southbound 15-501 and a short section of Monroe Street were shut down for close to an hour while crews worked the scene and removed all vehicles.

Responding units were Carthage Fire Department, Moore County EMS, Carthage Police Department, and Moore County Sheriff’s Office. Spivey’s Garage towed both vehicles from the crash at the crossover.
