Four people were hurt in a head-on crash in Morganton Thursday morning.
Morganton Public Safety officials say just after 8:30 an older model Chrysler minivan crossed the center line on West Fleming Drive near Asheville Street and went into the path of a Toyota sedan coming from the other direction.
A woman in the Toyota was critically hurt and was airlifted to a Charlotte hospital. The passenger in the car was later taken to Charlotte by ambulance. The driver of the minivan and a passenger were taken to a local hospital.
Officers at the scene said they found an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the minivan as well as what appeared to be drug paraphernalia. A blood draw was ordered to be taken from the driver at the hospital, but tests results had not yet been returned by Thursday afternoon.
