LAURINBURG, NC : Laurinburg man killed in single-car crash in U.S. 501 near Plant Road on Saturday, 11th August 2018
Laurinburg, North Carolina
Speeding and failure to wear a seat belt were contributing factors in the death of a Laurinburg man who crashed early Saturday morning along U.S. 501 near Plant Road.
According to a report by State Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Nash, the victim was identified as Van Hodges Sullivan, 47.
The report states that Sullivan was driving south in a 55 mph zone when he veered off the right side of the road and was unable to correct back to the left before hitting a tree — which flipped the Mazda 6 on its roof, pinning the victim inside. Emergency crews were forced to disentangle Sullivan from the wreck.
