Multiple Wrecks in Moore County Over the Weekend

Driver Extricated from Wrecked Audi in Midland Road Accident

A single-vehicle accident on Midland Road Friday night at Glen Meadow Court required emergency responders to extricate a trapped female driver from a heavily damaged Audi. Adverse weather conditions prevented helicopter transport, so the victim was taken to FirstHealth in Pinehurst by ambulance. Eastbound Midland Road was closed for an extended period for rescue, investigation, and debris clearance. See details MooreBreakingNewz.com.

A rollover accident Friday night involving a convertible Camaro on Lea Road off US 15-501 resulted in the driver being ejected from the vehicle.
