Four dead, one injured
Four people have died and one person has been seriously injured in a car crash that occurred on Lobelia Road near McGill Road in Vass, North Carolina. The accident involved a silver sedan and dark-colored SUV, both of which had significant front-end damage. According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the crash happened at around 11 am.
The road was closed for several hours as crews worked to clean up the area. However, it has since reopened.
The Highway Patrol confirmed that reckless driving by a 2023 Kia going east on NC 690 caused it to lose control while navigating a curve before crossing into oncoming traffic and colliding with a 2019 Hyundai.
The driver of the Kia was killed instantly while their passenger suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to hospital for treatment. At least three occupants of the Hyundai were pronounced dead at the scene: Gloria Medlin McCrimmon (72), Cheryl Elaine Medlin (63), and Viola Medlin Singletary (74). All three victims hailed from Southern Pines.
While preliminary investigations suggest that speed and reckless driving were factors contributing to this tragic event, authorities say they are still investigating what led up to it.
