A woman, believed to be the mother, was driving a white sedan on Highlands Road toward Franklin when her car collided with a pick-up headed in the opposite direction. The vehicles were spun around by the force of what's being described as almost headlight-to-headlight impact. Debris was scattered for more than 100 feet.Investigators say it also appears the male driver of the pickup crossed the center-line, but that's a preliminary finding. Troopers say he was flown to Mission Hospital in Asheville and is believed to be in critical condition. The child and woman were taken to Angel Hospital in Franklin. Highlands Road is back open after being blocked for more than four hours. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
