Two men were injured when their trucks collided Wednesday morning on Mocksville Highway, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.

Speed, alcohol and drugs were not factors. No other people or vehicles were involved in the crash.
Pharr was charged with failure to yield the right of way.
The intersection was closed for more than an hour while crews cleared the crash debris.
