Trooper J.D. Warren of the state Highway Patrol said Tomas Barnes, 25, was in stable condition after being transported from Halifax Regional Medical Center to Vidant in Greenville.
Warren said the crash occurred shortly after midnight on Peanut Market Road.
When Warren arrived the Seaboard and Gaston fire departments, Conway-Severn Rescue and Northampton County EMS were on the scene.
Gaston fire chief Ed Porter Jr. said in a statement the driver was pinned in. First responders extricated the man by removing driver side door, the B post and roof as well as manipulating the drivers seat and steering column.
Warren said the 2010 Honda Accord was traveling south on Peanut Market Road when
it ran off the left side of the roadway, struck a driveway culvert and wrapped around a pine tree in a yard.
Warren said speed and alcohol are contributing factors to the wreck.
Charges are pending further investigation.
