Serious crash closes N.C. 150 near Summerfield, injures three people

A Sunday morning wreck closed N.C. 150 near Sutter Road and left three people injured, including two listed with critical injuries. Emergency crews reached the 600 block of the highway in Summerfield at about 11:21 a.m., and the road was blocked in both directions as responders worked the scene.

Two patients were reported in critical condition, but neither was taken to the hospital. A third patient had minor injuries and was transported to a hospital. Crews were still on scene as the investigation unfolded, and the roadway was expected to clear by 3 p.m.

The crash landed on a stretch of N.C. 150 that functions as a key corridor through Summerfield and the north side of Guilford County. The state highway runs through a community in northwest Guilford County that the town says is home to about 12,000 residents, while the U.S. Census Bureau counted 10,951 people there in the 2020 census.

The broader county backdrop helps explain why a wreck on this road can ripple beyond one intersection. Guilford County had 541,299 residents in the 2020 census and an estimated 562,234 by July 1, 2025, growth that has pushed more traffic onto suburban roads connecting Summerfield, Greensboro and other parts of the county.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol had not yet confirmed whether anyone was critically injured and had not released a final explanation for what caused the wreck. Investigators were still sorting out the details, including whether any citations or charges would follow.
