Deadly Crash in Marion

A two-vehicle crash left one person dead and two others airlifted to Mission Hospital Saturday afternoon, June 11.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said the accident occurred just before 5 p.m. Saturday when a Mazda CX5 driven by 48 year old Michelle Black, of Williston, South Carolina, was traveling northbound on NC-226 in Marion, near Tatertown Loop.

Black was the only occupant in the Mazda when she reportedly crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a Toyota RAV4 being driven by 32 year old Steven Detwiler, of Charlotte, who was traveling southbound on NC-226.

Detwiler and two other passengers in the Toyota were transported to Mission Hospital — two of them were airlifted and one was transported by ambulance, all with non-life-threatening injuries.
