SALISBURY — A Rowan County man is in serious condition following a scooter accident Wednesday afternoon.
Dennis Story, 48, was traveling in the right lane on South Main Street when he moved into the path of a car. The incident occurred shortly after 4 p.m.
The vehicle swerved to miss the scooter into the right lane and nearly collided with the scooter, which had also moved back into the right lane.
Story lost control of the scooter and crashed. He was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center and later flown to Wake Forest Baptist Health Care in Winston-Salem with unknown injuries.
“They were non-life threatening,” said Capt. Sheila Lingle of the Salisbury Police Department.
No charges have been filed.
