10-year-old girl airlifted to UNC with fractured skull after Winnabow crash

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Two drivers are cited in a crash that injured four people, including a 10-year-old girl.

Trooper A.S. Godwin with the NC Highway Patrol says the crash happened on US 17 just south of Governors Road in Winnabow around 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Godwin says a white Chevy pickup truck rear-ended a white Oldsmobile van. Both vehicles came to a rest in the median.

The driver of the van, two older passengers and a 10-year-old girl were taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. The girl was later airlifted to UNC Medical Center. She has a broken right leg and a depression skull fracture, but is doing ok, Godwin says.

The driver of the truck, James Lee Sheppard, of Ocean Isle Beach was cited with failure to reduce speed.

Roselia Enriques was driving the van. She was charged with no operator’s license.
