Caldwell County authorities are working a multi-vehicle accident in the 90-degree turn just south of the Dollar General Store on US 641 in Fredonia.
Multiple ambulances are on the scene and both vehicles are badly damaged. The crash occurred around 1:40pm.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
According to Caldwell County Deputy Brook Dixon's report from the accident, Jason Sharp, 38, of Princeton was traveling north in a 2007 Nissan Maxima near Old Mexico Road and while driving into the curve he lost control of the vehicle. Due to a slippery surface from recent rain, his vehicle began to slide in the opposite lane of travel, crossing the center line. His vehicle struck a GMC Sierra pickup driven by Evelyn Jones, 63, of Salem head on.
The Sheriff’s Department was assisted on scene by Trice Hughes and Wallace towing both from Princeton & Caldwell County EMS.
