One person was injured in a two-vehicle accident in Aberdeen Monday morning in Aberdeen.

Emergency units were dispatched to a vehicle partially down an embankment around 11:15 am across from Rent-A-Wreck in the southbound lane of US Highway 1.

One passenger car had run off of the road coming to a stop before going completely down the steep embankment.

An adult female victim was transported from this vehicle to FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital by ambulance with injuries reported as not life threatening.

The second vehicle had pulled off of the highway into a local business parking lot. The driver of this vehicle appeared to be uninjured.

One lane in the southbound direction of US Highway 1 was temporarily blocked by the accident causing a backup along the highway as traffic slowed down to get around the wreck scene.

Responding to the accident were units with Aberdeen Fire & Rescue, Moore County EMS, and the Aberdeen Police Department.
