A Georgia woman was injured in a single-vehicle collision Thursday morning on Interstate 85.
The victim, Terri Lee Del Campo, 51, told Highway Patrol officials she was on her way to Delaware and most likely dozed off.
The wreck happened around 8:30 a.m. on the northbound side of I-85 near the 79 mile marker.
According to Trooper M.T. Eason, Del Campo ran off the left side of the road and struck the guardrail in the median.
Then she crossed all lanes of traffic and ran off the right side of the road, where she hit the concrete barrier and came to a stop.
Del Campo was pinned in her 2002 Mazda and was extracted around 9 a.m., Eason said.
She was the only person in the vehicle.
“We’re lucky no one else was involved,” he said.
The trooper said neither alcohol nor speed was a factor in the wreck.
There weren’t a lot of other motorists on the road at the time of the wreck, Eason said, and officials were able to keep travel lanes open and traffic moving.
Del Campo was charged with failure to maintain a travel lane.
She was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center with possible leg fractures and was later taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.
The Rowan County Rescue Squad, Rowan County EMS, Salisbury and Miller’s Ferry fire departments also responded to the wreck.
