Cameron, NC (September 6, 2026) – A three-vehicle wreck left multiple people hurt on Highway 24 at about 2 p.m. on Friday, September 4. The collision occurred near Line Road along the Moore and Harnett County line.
Emergency units evaluated five patients. Three were classified under yellow triage and two under green triage, while no major injuries were reported.
One vehicle remained on the roadway, while two came to rest off the pavement. Doors had to be removed from one vehicle to reach a patient.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. We hope everyone affected recovers fully.
Door Removal Can Help Crews Reach Occupants After Severe Vehicle Contact
Vehicle doors can become difficult to open when the surrounding frame bends during forceful contact. Specialized tools may be needed to create enough space for medical access without requiring an occupant to move through a narrow or unstable opening.
Multi-vehicle encounters can also leave cars facing different directions or resting beyond the pavement. Those final positions may limit access points and require careful planning before someone can be safely reached inside the passenger compartment.
Removing a door does not by itself indicate the severity of someone’s medical needs. The decision can depend on vehicle structure, where the force was concentrated, and how much space remains around the occupant. Creating a wider opening can help medical personnel assess and assist someone while limiting unnecessary movement.
