PLYMOUTH — A 74-year-old Outer Banks woman died Wednesday afternoon after a head-on collision with a dump truck on U.S. Highway 64 just west of the Plymouth city limits in Washington County, according to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
“Preliminary investigation indicates that a 2016 Nissan passenger vehicle, operated by 74-year-old Elaine Gregory Bradley of Corolla, North Carolina, was traveling westbound when it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with an eastbound 2020 Western Star dump truck loaded with asphalt,” a Thursday morning press release from the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.
Bradley was pronounced deceased at the scene, while the driver of the dump truck was airlifted to East Carolina University Health Medical Center in Greenville with “serious but non-life-threatening injuries,” according to the release.
The collision took place at approximately 2:50 p.m. on Wednesday, the release said. It did not name the dump truck driver.
Gregory had been a registered voter in Duck since November 2019, according to North Carolina State Board of Elections information.
Further information was not immediately available.
