A two-car wreck at the intersection of N.C. 222 and N.C. 581 late Thursday night sent at least two people to the hospital.
According to North Carolina Highway Patrolman Nolan Sanders, a Cadillac was heading west on N.C. 222 and t-boned a Chevrolet Beretta that was going south on N.C. 581.
The Chevrolet landed in a ditch, suffering extensive damage.
The driver of the Chevrolet -- whose identity was not available by press time -- was airlifted from the scene by a helicopter that landed in the middle of the intersection of the two highways.
Sanders said he did not know which hospital the driver of the Chevrolet was being taken to.
The driver of the Cadillac was taken to Wayne Memorial Hospital.
Sanders said the Cadillac's speed at the time of the wreck remains under investigation.
The Cadillac was also thrown off the road due to the impact, crashing through the fence of the Tri-County Kartway.
