ABERDEEN, NC – A driver of a Kia SUV ran a stop sign and collided with a flatbed truck, causing the truck to leave the road, hit a pine tree, and claim the truck driver’s life Saturday.
This collision happened before 11 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 501 and Pee Dee Road, according to CBS 17. The impact also led the Kia to drift off the road and led the Kia driver and their passenger to sustain serious wounds, both of whom were airlifted to a trauma center.
North Carolina Highway Patrol, Aberdeen Fire Department, and Southern Pines Fire & Rescue all were summoned to the scene. They did not confirm if the Kia driver will face any criminal charges.
