CHOCOWINITY — Monday afternoon, authorities responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S Highway 17 and Price Road in Chocowinity.

The crash, which happened around 4:15 p.m., involved a white Buick sedan and a silver Chevy SUV. The SUV was traveling south on U.S. 17 when the sedan attempted to turn onto U.S. 17 Business, causing the SUV to strike the passenger side and spin 180 degrees, according to one driver who saw the crash.

Passengers did suffer injuries, but they appeared to be non-life-threatening, according to firefighter Brian Lanning, of Chocowinity Volunteer Fire Department.

Lanning said authorities were not releasing the names of the people in the crash at this time, but he could say there were two adults and two children involved. They were taken to Vidant Beaufort Hospital for treatment after the accident.

Chocowinity EMS, Chocowinity Fire, Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina State Highway Patrol and Beaufort County EMS responded to the scene. Authorities redirected traffic while debris was cleaned out of the road. Both vehicles appeared to be a total loss.

State Highway Patrol is investigating the accident, but it was likely a failure to yield, according to Lanning.
