The State Highway Patrol said an 18-year-old man was driving a 2003 Jeep Liberty going south on N.C. Highway 210, crossed the center line and collided with a 2012 Ford Focus driven by Harrington.
Creech was a passenger in Harrington’s car, which was heading north, the Highway Patrol said.
First responders took the 18-year-old man to an area hospital with serious injuries.As of Friday afternoon, authorities have not filed any charges and are still working to determine the cause of the crash.The investigation in the Thursday crash is under investigation.
“It was like a huge thunderstorm crash, and I was like, ‘It’s not thundering,'” said Lynette Patillo, who saw one of the wrecks happen in front of her home on Shady Grove Road. “I go outside and the cars were already separated. One was here, one was here and one was catching on fire.”
Patillo said she was not surprised that speed was a factor in the collision.
“As you see, cars just whip through here,” Patillo said.
Just down the road, Debby Freeman said drivers need to be more cautious.
“There’s a reason for double yellow lines,” Freeman said. “There’s a reason for a speed limit. There’s a reason for everything.”
After the two crashes in less than 24 hours, residents said they want to see better traffic control for the road, such as more caution signs along the road.
Two crashes in 24 hours claimed the lives of four people in Harnett County.
On Friday, North Carolina Highway Patrol confirmed 42-year-old Dana Lashea Avery of Erwin and 52-year-old Edward Joseph Hadder Jr. of Cameron died in a crash on Shady Grove Road in Harnett County
