ASHEBORO, N.C. — A 94-year-old man died in a wrong-way crash on I-73 in Asheboro Tuesday morning.
Police said the crash happened around 10 a.m. between US Highway 64 Business and McDowell Road. Callers reported seeing a white Nissan Frontier traveling north in the southbound lanes of I-73.
Police said the Nissan struck a Toyota. The driver of the Nissan, a 94-year-old man, died at the scene.
The Toyota driver was taken to a nearby hospital but did not have any apparent injuries.
Randolph County EMS said both southbound and northbound lanes of I-73/74 at the Ulah/Troy exit are closed because of low-hanging power lines.
Traffic is being diverted off the interstate.
We have a crew on the way to the scene and are working to get more information.
