The accident occurred at the
7700 block of Wake Forest Highway
near the Lick Creek overpass around 9 a.m. Authorities say that 60-year-old Darnell Selma Holeman of Chapel Hill drifted left of the center line and hit a pickup driven by 33-year-old Dwight Shelton Sherron of Raleigh head-on. Both drivers died at the scene of the accident.
A passenger in Holeman's pickup, William Flowers, was briefly pinned inside the truck and was later transported to Duke Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Both directions of Wake Forest Highway were shut down because of the accident, and traffic was blocked from Southview Road to Coley Road. The road has since reopened.
