LINCOLN COUNTY -- A Duke Energy utility truck and Chevy Cavalier were involved in a head on collision Sunday night in the western part of Lincoln County. The accident happened on Magnolia Grove Road, off Philadelphia Church Road, around 8:45 p.m.

Initial radio traffic indicated one vehicle had run on top of the other, pinning one person inside and leaving that person unconcious. Dustin Lee Baker, the passenger in the Chevy driven by Christina Chaney, was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte with a broken rib and hip.

According to trooper R.H. Lanier with the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver of the utility truck didn't suffer any injuries.

"The accident is still under investigation, but it looks like the passenger vehicle crosed the center line in the curve," said Lanier early Monday morning.

Charges may be pending against Chaney, who was treated and released for a broken foot. Magnolia Grove Road was shut down while the accident was investigated, the patients transoprted and the vehicles towed away.
