Three people were injured Monday evening in a two-vehicle crash south of Gastonia, authorities say.

One of those hurt in the collision suffered serious injuries, according to investigators.

The collision was reported about 5 p.m. on Little Mountain Road, a few miles south of Gastonia. The force of the crash left one vehicle on its side and the other in a ditch, authorities said.

Two people were inside the car that rolled over, and one motorist was trapped, a spokesman for Crowders Mountain Fire and Rescue said. Rescue personnel cut a hole in the roof of the car and freed the motorist in about 10 minutes.
