Apex, N.C. — One person was injured Tuesday morning in a wreck near Apex.

The wreck, which involved a Ford pickup truck and a Honda Civic, happened around 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Optimist Farm and Bells Lake roads.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said James Tyler Buchanan, 19, of New Hill, was driving in the Civic west on Optimist Farm Road when he ran a stop sign and struck two other vehicles.

Buchanan was taken to WakeMed with life-threatening injuries, trooper Nathan White said. He was listed in critical condition Tuesday evening.

Charges are pending, White said.

Distracted by what?

The driver of the Honda Civic is my brother. We think that he was distracted and didn't see the stop sign. So if people would quit talking about my brother "running" the stop sign on purpose it would help a lot. You don't know what kind of pain and stress my parents, siblings, and family members are going through. My brother is severely hurt, stop talking about him running the light and care about a person. I mean, do humans not have any emotions for others anymore?
