Accident on 86 North

An FYI for those heading north of town this afternoon — as of about 12:30, traffic was being routed around a stretch of N.C. 86 North.

Less than an hour ago, several emergency responders were sent north of Hillsborough to respond to a two-vehicle accident on N.C. 86 North near the 86/57 split. Initial reports are that both drivers are OK.

Officers at the scene said that one driver was transported to a hospital, but did not say which one. He said a car had collided with a tractor-trailer, which had a visible label of a regional grocery chain.

Neighbors said that a car came over the hill north of the intersection and collided with the other vehicle, and that they had seen that both drivers were conscious and appeared OK.

Once we get in touch with highway patrol, we'll update.

UPDATE: Sorry, nothing more as of Friday morning. Still have a call into Highway Patrol.
