The front passenger door to the Spark had to be cut off by firefighters from Cypress Pointe Fire Department and Carthage Fire Department to free the passengers. Moore County EMS transported the two passengers of the Spark to be flown out from a nearby field by UNC Carolina Air Care and Life Link Air helicopters.

The driver of the Spark appeared to have injuries at the scene, but refused medical care. The driver of the Rubicon was not injured.
