HOWARDS CREEK

A child is one of two people injured in a moped accident west of Howards Creek School Road on Highway 182.

Just before noon, Howards Creek firefighters and Lincoln EMS were called to the bridge on Highway 182, where the
moped crashed in the curve.

Authorities at the scene said the child suffered a deep cut on his chin.
Both the child and the male driver of the moped were taken to Carolinas Medical Center Lincoln with non-life threatening injuries.

Medic at the scene said it appeared the moped was traveling east on Highway 182 when the driver hit a patch of dirt, striking the guardrail.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating.
