Serious injuries reported after head-on collision in Moore County

One person was seriously injured on Thursday in a head-on collision.

Around 6 a.m., officials responded to the 1200 block of N.C. Highway 705 near Jordan Road. Firefighters used rescue equipment to remove the door of a Honda Accord to free the injured victim, officials said. The victim was transported to Moore Regional Hospital with serious injuries.

The driver of the second car, a Mustang GT, was not injured in the crash.
