Emergency crews with Mount Airy and Pilot Mountain rescue squads, Surry County EMS and Bannertown Volunteer Fire Department work to treat a woman in a vehicle involved in a head-on collision Wednesday around 6:45 p.m. on Old U.S. 52 South near the intersection with Ararat-Longhill Road. Two female patients, who were both the drivers, were transported by Surry EMS to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to EMS Shift Supervisor Kevin Key. A male passenger in the red vehicle was not injured. Key said rescue crews used tools to pop the car door open on the red vehicle to have better access to the patient, but that she was not pinned in as crews originally thought. Trooper Brian Jones of the North Carolina Highway Patrol investigated the accident. No further information was available by presstime.
