GREENSBORO, N.C. — A teenage girl has died after a vehicle flew into the air during a crash on I-73 N in Greensboro, police say.
Police said on Nov. 5 at 2:45 a.m., they responded to the area of I-73 North and West Friendly Avenue about a single-car crash with injuries.
After an investigation, detectives said that a vehicle driving southbound on I-73 ran off the road to the right, overcorrected back to the left, and struck the guard rail face on the interior of the median.
After the initial impact, police said the vehicle went airborne, then came back down in the grass median, and tumbled to rest in the northbound lane of I-73.
After the crash, another vehicle traveling on the northbound lane struck the wrecked vehicle.
Police said a 16-year-old girl who was an occupant of the wreck was seriously injured and taken to Moses Cone Hospital where she died on Nov. 6.
Officers said the teen was in the car with two other adults.
The adults have non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said it is unclear who was driving.
The investigation is ongoing and being conducted by the Crash Reconstruction Unit.
