CHARLOTTE — Ridge Road in northeast Charlotte was blocked off Friday evening after a crash that sent one person to the hospital.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Ridge Road was closed at Highland Creek Parkway around 4:30 p.m.
MEDIC said one person was pinned in the vehicle after the crash, but they were extracted and taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Chopper 9 Skyzoom flew over the scene and spotted what appeared to be an SUV with a door ripped off the side of it. The vehicle was in a wooded area and appeared to have rolled through tree branches.
The victim wasn’t identified and it’s not clear if anyone else was in the car when the crash happened.
