SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) - A teenager was airlifted to a local hospital after being struck by a vehicle in Rowan County Monday evening.

The incident happened just after 7:30 p.m. on the 1800 block of Harrison Road in Salisbury. Officials said 13-year-old Kenyatta Belton suffered head, torso and leg injuries.

Belton was flown to an area hospital. There is no word on his condition.

Police said Edgar Welch, 28, was driving a Buick LeSabre that struck the teen. Welch stayed at the scene of the crash and waited for police.

“We got concerned and came outside, seen a bunch of people down in the road, couldn’t tell what was going on," said neighbor Charlene Swing.

Investigators have not said how the wreck may have happened or if any charges are being filed.

Police say Welch was driving 45 miles an hour, which they say is the speed limit on that stretch of road.
