LINDEN, N.C. (WTVD) -- A pedestrian was taken to the hospital in serious condition following a crash in Linden on Sunday.

Emergency officials responded to calls about a pedestrian that had been hit by a vehicle just before 8 p.m. on Linden Road.

When emergency crews arrived they found a person lying on the side of the road and a white Chevrolet Camaro with damage to its windshield.

The pedestrian was flown to a trauma center for treatment.

According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP), a preliminary investigation found that the pedestrian was driving a motorhome when it became disabled partially in the roadway.
