ROCKINGHAM — Six people, including two children, were taken to the hospital following a two-car wreck on Ledbetter Road Sunday afternoon.
Trooper I. Shaw with the Highway Patrol said the injuries are not believed to be serious. A Corolla was travelling east and a white Kia was travelling west. As they crossed paths, near the intersection with Richmond Road, the Corolla cross the center line and the two collided head-on, according to Shaw.
The trooper added that neither driver braked before impact, demonstrating that neither had time to react. They were traveling between 40-45 miles per hour. Shaw said Sunday that it’s unlikely either driver will be charged with any crime beyond the driver of the Corolla receiving a traffic citation for crossing the center line.
Northside Volunteer Fire Department and EMS responded to the scene.
