The blue pickup was traveling west when it struck the white sedan on U.S. 74.

LILESVILLE — A two-car accident on U.S. 74 near Lilesville Elementary School Wednesday afternoon sent 5 people to the hospital.

Only one person sustained significant injuries: a 7-year-old girl who has since been released from the hospital and is now back at home, according to Trooper Johnson with the North Carolina Highway Patrol. The Highway Patrol has not released the names of those involved. The wreck involved the driver of a blue pickup and a mother and her three children who were in a white sedan.

The sedan was travelling north on Camden Street and was attempting to cross the highway when it was struck by the pickup as it was headed west on 74 towards Wadesboro, according to Johnson.

Traffic was significantly backed up around 5:30 p.m. at the site of the wreck.
