MOUNT AIRY, N.C. (AP) - Authorities are searching for a man reported missing after his abandoned car was found following an apparent accident on a North Carolina road.

The Surry County Sheriff’s Office tells local news outlets a missing person report was filed Sunday for 38-year-old Allen Leon Binns Sr.

Investigators say Binns stopped at two convenience stores Saturday night, and that his 2012 Honda Accord was involved in an accident on N.C. Highway 89 in Lowgap later that evening. The car sustained minor damage.



The sheriff’s office said there has been no contact with Binns since the accident.
