According to State Highway Patrol officers, Viola Medlin Singletary (74), Gloria Medlin McCrimmon (72), and Cheryl Elaine Medlin (63) were involved in a collision on Wednesday while traveling on Highway 690 in Moore County.
The accident occurred when a 2023 Kia crossed the center line and collided with their vehicle. In a tragic incident, the silver 2010 Hyundai belonging to the sisters was completely destroyed in a devastating crash.
Regrettably, the sisters and the driver of the Kia also lost their lives in the accident. Thursday marked the 64th birthday of the youngest of the sisters.
According to a report by WRAL, Suzanne Beasley, who was a passenger in the Kia and the only survivor, was transported to a hospital by air ambulance due to severe injuries. As per the police, a crash took place at approximately 10:59 a.m.
The driver of the Kia, who is yet to be identified, was reportedly speeding around a bend when the collision occurred with the vehicle being driven by Singletary, who was accompanied by her sisters.
According to relatives, they were en route to collect a truck as part of the preparations for Medlin’s 63rd birthday on Thursday. A balloon release in her honor will be held by the family. According to Beasley’s cousin, Wayne Davis, he was driving when he came across a severe accident.
Davis immediately stopped to assist, but tragically discovered that his own cousin was involved in the fatal crash. According to Davis, who spoke with WRAL, he had not seen his cousin in eight years and noticed blood around her face.According to the individual, they were unable to recognize their cousin.
According to Davis, the collision caused the Hyundai to spin out of control and head towards his vehicle, resulting in engine components being hurled at his work truck while he was driving down the 690 highway.
Both cars’ engines were ripped out due to the powerful impact. According to the State Highway Patrol, the investigation is ongoing, but early indications suggest that Kia’s reckless driving and excessive speed were factors in the incident.
